11 -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.

76 -1) The ##woproject/.patternset## 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 ##Components~/~//etc/## to ##Components/##**, same w/ Resources and WebServerResources. Alternatively you can use a recent nightly build of WOLips where this bug has been fixed.
