Usage for Windows

Version 13.1 by Pascal Robert on 2007/12/28 22:01

1) Create the structure:
C:pple
C:ppleocalibraryrameworks (equivalent to /Library/Frameworks on the Mac)
C:ppleibraryrameworks (equivalent to /System/Library/Frameworks on the Mac)

2) Copy all the frameworks from /System/Library/Frameworks on a Mac that are named Java except for JavaScriptCore and JavaVM to C:ppleibraryrameworks

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.

4) Create a wobuild.properties file in C:ocuments and Settingsyour user>ibrary with the contents:
wo.woroot=C:/Apple
wo.wolocalroot=C:/Apple/Local
wo.wosystemroot=C:/Apple
wo.homeroot=C:/Temp
eclipse.home=C:/Programs Files/eclipse
wo.dir.library.frameworks=C:/Apple/Library/Frameworks

5) Install eclipse 3.3.1.1

6) Install WOLips nightly from http://webobjects.mdimension.com/wolips/nightly

That should be it, I think?  The things that are problematic right now on Windows:
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
2) Couple images have backgrounds that should not
3) Outline view in component editor is not right
4) AutoOpenInBrowser doesn't work unless you override Application.isSupportedDevelopmentPlatform to return true

I THINK that was it, but there might have been a couple other misc items .. I'll have to go back through and doublecheck.
