9 += Moving the WebObjects frameworks from a Mac to a Windows machine =
10 +
11 +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.
12 +
13 +* 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/]].
14 +
15 +* Mount, on a Mac, the DMG file.

28 += Create the file structure on your Windows machine =
29 +
30 +1) Create the structure:
31 +C:pple
32 +C:ppleocalibraryrameworks (equivalent to /Library/Frameworks on the Mac)
33 +C:ppleibraryrameworks (equivalent to /System/Library/Frameworks on the Mac)
34 +
35 +2) Copy all the frameworks from /System/Library/Frameworks on a Mac that are named Java except for JavaScriptCore and JavaVM to C:ppleibraryrameworks
36 +
37 +{{warning}}
38 +
39 +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.
40 +
41 +{{/warning}}

43 +4) Create a wobuild.properties file in C:ocuments and Settingsyour user>ibrary with the contents:
44 +wo.woroot=C:/Apple
45 +wo.wolocalroot=C:/Apple/Local
46 +wo.wosystemroot=C:/Apple
47 +wo.homeroot=C:/Temp
48 +eclipse.home=C:/Programs Files/eclipse
49 +wo.dir.library.frameworks=C:/Apple/Library/Frameworks
50 +
51 += Install Eclipse and WOLips =
52 +
53 +5) Install eclipse 3.3.1.1
54 +
55 +6) Install WOLips nightly from [[http://webobjects.mdimension.com/wolips/nightly]]
56 +
57 += Notes =
58 +
59 +That should be it, I think?  The things that are problematic right now on Windows:
60 +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
61 +2) Couple images have backgrounds that should not
62 +3) Outline view in component editor is not right
63 +4) AutoOpenInBrowser doesn't work unless you override Application.//isSupportedDevelopmentPlatform to return true//
64 +
65 +I THINK that was it, but there might have been a couple other misc items .. I'll have to go back through and doublecheck.
