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

46 -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.

50 -4) Create a wobuild.properties file in C:ocuments and Settingsyour user>ibrary with the contents:
51 -wo.woroot=C:/Apple
52 -wo.wolocalroot=C:/Apple/Local
53 -wo.wosystemroot=C:/Apple

58 -= Install Eclipse and WOLips =
59 -
60 -5) Install eclipse Classic 3.3.1.1
61 -
62 -6) Install WOLips nightly from [[http://webobjects.mdimension.com/wolips/nightly]]

64 -= Notes =
65 -
66 -That should be it, I think?  The things that are problematic right now on Windows:
67 -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
68 -2) Couple images have backgrounds that should not
69 -3) Outline view in component editor is not right
70 -4) AutoOpenInBrowser doesn't work unless you override Application.//isSupportedDevelopmentPlatform to return true//
71 -
72 -I THINK that was it, but there might have been a couple other misc items .. I'll have to go back through and doublecheck.
