Migrating from XCode to WOLips

Version 18.1 by Pascal Robert on 2007/12/08 23:36

As you know, if you plan to continue using WebObjects since Apple deprecated EOModeler, WebObjects Builder and RuleModeler.  In fact, the tools are NOT available at all on Mac OS X 10.5.  So, what's the steps to migrate ?

First, you need to install the WebObjects frameworks.  On Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5), the frameworks are available in the Xcode 3.0 package.  On Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4), the frameworks are available in the Xcode 2.5.  After the frameworks are installed, you need to install Eclipse and WOLips.

Everything is is installed ? You can start migrating.   You have three choices for migrations for projects. 

  • You only have a couple of frameworks and applications, and those projects are not very complex?  You can do a manual migration.
  • You have a couple of projects and you didn't put your components and classes in sub folders ?  Try the "fleeto" script from Chuck Hill.
  • You have complex and/or many projects ?  Use the XcodeMigration tool from Pascal Robert.
