All-In-One Turn-Key Installer (Mac OS X 10.5.2 Only)
In addition to Eclipse and the WOLips plugins, this incredibly useful installer contains the Project WOnder Frameworks, Frontbase Database and JDBC Driver, and many other tools and examples useful for WebObjects developers just getting started, or just getting started with WOLips.
The pkg installer includes the following components:
- Eclipse 3.4
- WOLips (stable rev)
- Standard EOGenerator Templates
- WOTaskd and JavaMonitor launchd scripts
- Wonder Frameworks (as in pure frameworks)
- Wonder Framework Jars (in case you prefer the embedded kind...)
- Wonder API Documentation
- Wonder RuleModeler
- Jadclipse
- Standalone Entity Modeler
- Frontbase Database + JDBC adaptor + Management Apps + Autostart
- Uninstaller
This Package requires:
- Around 350MB disk space
- Apple Mac OS X 10.5.2 (Leopard)
- Apple Xcode 3.0 Developer Tools (Included on the Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Installer DVD)

Eclipse Update Manager Install
This method is more work, but gives you total control over what you install. This is a good place to start if you already have Eclipse installed, or don't meet the system requirements for the all-in-one installer above.
WOLips Nightly Build Server
Nightly builds of WOLips are maintained in several forms at http://webobjects.mdimension.com/wolips/. Among the various packagings you will find are:
- http://webobjects.mdimension.com/wolips/wolips-HEAD-latest-site.tar.gz
This is a .tar.gz of the webobjects.mdimension.com WOLips update site. If you would like to install from a local repository, you can download this. This package does NOT include any plugins outside of WOLips (i.e. SVN, Jadclipse, etc), so you will need to install those separately. - http://webobjects.mdimension.com/wolips/wolips-HEAD-latest-src.tar.gz
This is the latest source to WOLips if you do not want to check it out from SVN.
Installing from a Local Build
- If you made changes locally, Eclipse will not automatically install your changed plugins if the version number is the same. You have two options - either uninstall WOLips or cheat and increment the WOLips build version prior to building your local copy. To uninstall WOLips, just delete all org.objectstyle features and plug ins from your eclipse folder. To increment the build server version, open buildserver.version in your projects folder and increment the last number. Note that you will now be "competing" with version numbers from the official build server, so the next official build will not install because you already used the next number, but sometimes it's a quick hack to force an update if you're lazy :-)
- Assuming you now have your build versions under control, you should follow the instructions for Building WOLips
- Launch Eclipse
- Select the menu: Help->Software Updates.
- Click on the 'Available Software' tab at the top of the window.
- Click on the 'Add Site...' button. This will bring up a dialog box.
- Click on the 'Local...' button on the dialog box.
- Browse to and select your workspace/projects/temp/dist folder or your woproject/temp/dist folder (depending on whether you checked out in eclipse or command line)
- Check the box next to it, continue, and just keep selecting the "Yes"/"OK"/"Approve"/etc buttons
