1 As you know, if you plan to continue using WebObjects since Apple [[deprecated>>http://lists.apple.com/archives/webobjects-dev/2006/Aug/msg01144.html]] EOModeler, WebObjects Builder and RuleModeler your best option is to move to Eclipse/WOLips.  In fact, the Apple tools are [[NOT available at all>>http://www.wocommunity.org/webobjects_faq.html#xcode3]] on Mac OS X 10.5.  So, what are the steps to migrate ?
2
3 First, you need to install the WebObjects frameworks. On Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5), the frameworks are available in the [[Xcode 3.0>>http://developer.apple.com/tools/download/]] package. On Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4), the frameworks are available in the [[Xcode 2.5>>http://developer.apple.com/tools/download/]].  After the frameworks are installed, you need to install [[Eclipse>>http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=//eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.3.1.1-200710231652/eclipse-SDK-3.3.1.1-macosx-carbon.tar.gz]] and [[WOLips>>Install WOLips with Eclipse Update Manager]].

5 Once everything has been installed you can begin your migration.  Depending on the complexity of your migration, you have three options for moving your projects to Eclipse/WOLips.

7 * If you only have a couple of frameworks and applications, and those projects are not very complex?  You can do a [[manual migration>>documentation:Import an Xcode project into WOLips]].
8 * If you have a couple of projects and you didn't put your components and classes in sub folders ?  Try the "[[fleeto>>http://www.global-village.net/migrate.to.eclipse/home]]" script from [[Chuck Hill>>~~chuckhill]].
9 * If you have a complex project and/or many projects ?  Use the [[XcodeMigration]] tool from [[Pascal Robert>>~~probert]].
