7 += Moving the WebObjects frameworks from a Mac to a Windows machine =
8 +
9 +The WebObjects frameworks are available on the Xcode tools, which cannot be install on a Windows (or any other Linux/UNIX variant) machine. Before developing on Windows, you need to get access on a Mac, make a archive of the frameworks and move this archive to your Windows machine. You can fetch the frameworks without having to install them on the 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>>http://developer.apple.com/tools/download/]].
12 +
13 +* Mount, on a Mac, the DMG file.

17 +cp /Volumes/Xcode\ Tools/Packages/Packages/WebObjectsRuntime.pkg/Contents/Archive.pax.gz /tmp
18 +cd /tmp

26 +1) Create the structure:
27 +C:pple
28 +C:ppleocalibraryrameworks (equivalent to /Library/Frameworks on the Mac)
29 +C:ppleibraryrameworks (equivalent to /System/Library/Frameworks on the Mac)
30 +
31 +2) Copy all the frameworks from /System/Library/Frameworks on a Mac that are named Java except for JavaScriptCore and JavaVM to C:ppleibraryrameworks
32 +
33 +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.
34 +
35 +4) Create a wobuild.properties file in C:ocuments and Settingsyour user>ibrary with the contents:
36 +wo.woroot=C:/Apple
37 +wo.wolocalroot=C:/Apple/Local
38 +wo.wosystemroot=C:/Apple
39 +wo.homeroot=C:/Temp
40 +eclipse.home=C:/Programs Files/eclipse
41 +wo.dir.library.frameworks=C:/Apple/Library/Frameworks
42 +
43 +5) Install eclipse 3.3.1.1
44 +
45 +6) Install WOLips nightly from [[http://webobjects.mdimension.com/wolips/nightly]]
46 +
47 +That should be it, I think?  The things that are problematic right now on Windows:
48 +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
49 +2) Couple images have backgrounds that should not
50 +3) Outline view in component editor is not right
51 +4) AutoOpenInBrowser doesn't work unless you override Application.//isSupportedDevelopmentPlatform to return true//
52 +
53 +I THINK that was it, but there might have been a couple other misc items .. I'll have to go back through and doublecheck.
