7 += Moving the WebObjects frameworks from a Mac to a Windows machine =
8 +
9 +The WebObjects frameworks are part of the Xcode tools distribution (available on the Mac OS X DVD, or as a download from Apple, see below) which cannot be installed on a Windows (or any Linux/UNIX variant) machine directly. So, before developing on Windows, you will need to get access on a Mac, make a archive of the frameworks and move this archive to your Windows machine. You can extract the frameworks from XCode without having to install them on the intermediate Mac.
10 +
11 +* Obtain Xcode 2.5 (if you want to work with WebObjects 5.3), or Xcode 3.0 (if you want to work with WebObjects 5.4) at [[ADC>>url:http://developer.apple.com/tools/download/||shape="rect"]] – these are in the form of large (about 1 GB) disk images. Note that you will need to sign up for an ADC membership, but the "online" membership is free.
12 +
13 +* Mount, on a Mac, the DMG file. Then, for XCode 2.5 / Mac OS X Tiger:
14 +
15 +{{code}}
16 +
17 +cp /Volumes/Xcode\ Tools/Packages/Packages/WebObjectsRuntime.pkg/Contents/Archive.pax.gz /tmp
18 +cd /tmp
19 +unzip Archive.pax.gz
20 +pax -r -f Archive.pax
21 +tar cf WebObjectsRuntime.tar Library System
22 +cp WebObjectsRuntime.tar -> Windows
23 +
24 +{{/code}}
25 +
26 +... and for XCode 3.0 / Mac OS X Leopard (since Installer packages are created differently in Leopard):
27 +
28 +{{code}}
29 +
30 +mkdir -p /tmp/wo ; cd /tmp/wo
31 +xar -vxf "/Volumes/Xcode Tools/Packages/WebObjectsRuntime.pkg" ; pax -rzf Payload
32 +tar cf WebObjectsRuntime.tar Library System
33 +cp WebObjectsRuntime.tar -> Windows
34 +
35 +{{/code}}
36 +
37 += Create the file structure on your Windows machine =
38 +
1 1  1) Create the structure:
2 -C:pple
3 -C:ppleocalibraryrameworks (equivalent to /Library/Frameworks on the Mac)
4 -C:ppleibraryrameworks (equivalent to /System/Library/Frameworks on the Mac)
40 + C:\Apple
41 + C:\Apple\Local\Library\Frameworks (equivalent to /Library/Frameworks on the Mac)
42 + C:\Apple\Library\Frameworks (equivalent to /System/Library/Frameworks on the Mac)
5 5  
6 -2) Copy all the frameworks from /System/Library/Frameworks on a Mac that are named Java except for JavaScriptCore and JavaVM to C:ppleibraryrameworks
44 +2) Copy all the frameworks from /System/Library/Frameworks on a Mac that are named Java* except for JavaScriptCore and JavaVM to C:\Apple\Library\Frameworks
7 7  
8 -3) If you copied a 5.2, you will need to put a Windows License.key in JavaWebObjects.framework/Resources.  If you copied a 5.3, I think it's a universal license key.
46 +{{code}}
9 9  
10 -4) Create a wobuild.properties file in C:ocuments and Settingsyour user>ibrary with the contents:
11 -wo.woroot=C:/Apple
12 -wo.wolocalroot=C:/Apple/Local
13 -wo.wosystemroot=C:/Apple
14 -wo.homeroot=C:/Temp
15 -eclipse.home=C:/Programs Files/eclipse
16 -wo.dir.library.frameworks=C:/Apple/Library/Frameworks
48 +mv WebObjectsRuntime.tar/Library/* C:\Apple\Local\Library\Frameworks
49 +mv WebObjectsRuntime.tar/System/Library/* C:\Apple\Library\Frameworks
17 17  
18 -5) Install eclipse 3.3.1.1
51 +{{/code}}
19 19  
20 -6) Install WOLips nightly from http:~/~/webobjects.mdimension.com/wolips/nightly
53 +{{warning}}
54 +3) If you copied a 5.2, you will need to put a Windows License.key in JavaWebObjects.framework/Resources.  If you copied a 5.3, I think it's a universal license key.
55 +{{/warning}}

22 -That should be it, I think?  The things that are problematic right now on Windows:
23 -1) The woproject/**.patternset don't work quite right on Windows.  If you don't have subfolders in your Resources/Components/etc, you can work around it by converting Components~/~/**/etc/** to Components/**, same w/ Resources and WebServerResources
24 -2) Couple images have backgrounds that should not
25 -3) Outline view in component editor is not right
26 -4) AutoOpenInBrowser doesn't work unless you override Application.//isSupportedDevelopmentPlatform to return true//
57 +4) Create a wobuild.properties file in C:\Documents and Settings\<your user>\Library with the contents:
58 + wo.woroot=C:/Apple
59 + wo.wolocalroot=C:/Apple/Local
60 + wo.wosystemroot=C:/Apple
61 + wo.homeroot=C:/Temp
62 + eclipse.home=C:/Programs Files/eclipse
63 + wo.dir.library.frameworks=C:/Apple/Library/Frameworks

65 += Install Eclipse and WOLips =
66 +
67 +Install [[Eclipse and WOLips>>url:http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WOL/Install+WOLips+with+Eclipse+Update+Manager||shape="rect"]]
68 +
69 += Notes =
70 +
71 +That should be it, I think?  The things that are problematic right now on Windows:
72 + 1) The {{code language="none"}}woproject/*.patternset{{/code}} don't work quite right on Windows with older versions of WOLips. If you don't have subfolders in your Resources/Components/etc, you can work around it by converting {{code language="none"}}Components/**/*/etc/**{{/code}} to {{code language="none"}}Components/*{{/code}}, same w/ Resources and WebServerResources. Alternatively you can use a recent nightly build of WOLips where this bug has been fixed.
73 + 2) Couple images have backgrounds that should not
74 + 3) Outline view in component editor is not right
75 + 4) AutoOpenInBrowser doesn't work unless you override Application._isSupportedDevelopmentPlatform to return true
76 +
28 28  I THINK that was it, but there might have been a couple other misc items .. I'll have to go back through and doublecheck.
