Pascal Robert 28.1 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).

William Sandner 52.1 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).  \\
Pascal Robert 32.1 15
William Sandner 52.1 16 Alternatively, inside the Xcode tools 2.5 disk image, pbprojectdump can be found at Packages/Packages/DeveloperTools.pkg/Contents/Archive.pax.gz:/Tools/pbprojectdump

Pascal Robert 44.1 143 = FAQ =
Pascal Robert 17.1 144
Pascal Robert 44.1 145 **Q.**&nbsp; I can't a //Could not find working dir for project// error when I launch my converted application.
146 **A.**&nbsp; Make sure that, in //config.xml//, //<applicationTemplatePath>// is set to a WO application instead of a WO framework.
Pascal Robert 17.1 147
Pascal Robert 44.1 148 **Q.**&nbsp; Some of my resources are missing or in the wrong folder.
149 **A.**&nbsp; The tool detect files that should be marked as //Resources// by file extension or name. If a file is not a Java class or one of the file type in the //Resources// list, the file will be move to the //WebServerResources// folder instead. You just have to move the files to the Resources folder when needed. If you have file types who should be detected as resources, you can add the needed code in the //copyFiles// method.
Pascal Robert 17.1 150
Pascal Robert 44.1 151 **Q.**&nbsp; My application is localized and the content in the components are displaying the wrong caracters.
152 **A.**&nbsp; If you set the //<convertToUTF8>// node to true, your Java classes will be converted from MacRoman to UTF-8, but the tool will NOT modify the .woo file so that they use UTF-8. Either you stay in MacRoman and change the value of //<convertToUTF8>// to //false//, or you will have to modify your components so that they use UTF-8.
