5 5  XcodeMigration is a tool written by [[Pascal Robert>>~~probert]]to help you migrate multiple WebObjects projects from Xcode to Eclipse/WOLips.  If you have complex or many projects to convert, this is the tool to use.  The tool is written in Java and is a Eclipse project, so you will need to import the project into Eclipse first (you need a functionnal WOLips installation to be able to import the tool).

14 +XcodeMigration is using the tool _pbprojectdump_ which is no longer present in the Xcode 3 bundle. You need to install Xcode 2.5 to get access to _pbprojectdump_ (you can copy it from another machine too).
