9 -WOProject is such a project. WOProject adds a half dozen tasks to Ant. These tasks allow WebObject developers the freedom to use Ant in their build process, instead of the using Apple's XCode suite. A few of these tasks are: [[WOCompile>>http://objectstyle.org/woproject-old/ant/wocompile.html]], [[WOApplication>>http://objectstyle.org/woproject-old/ant/woapplication.html]], [[WOFramework>>http://objectstyle.org/woproject-old/ant/woframework.html]]. After dropping the WOProject core jars into Ant's lib directory, these tasks can be used directly in the typical Ant build.xml file in building your WebObjects projects.

These tasks allow WebObject developers the freedom to use Ant in their build process, instead of the using Apple's XCode suite. A few of these tasks are: [[WOCompile>>WOCompile]], [[WOApplication>>WOApplication]], [[WOFramework>>WOFramework]]. By using the lib command line option to refer to woproject.jar, these tasks can be used directly in the typical Ant ##build.xml## file in building your WebObjects projects outside of the Eclipse/WOLips environment. It is not recommended to drop woproject.jar into your ant lib directory since woproject is under continuous development and different versions can trigger problems such as errors when build WOnder from source.

23 +You can download the ant tasks --from the [[sourceforge>>http://sourceforge.net/projects/woproject/]] page-- from the automated [[Hudson build>>http://webobjects.mdimension.com/hudson/job/WOLipsStable/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/]] page for WOProject. If you have installed the wolips material for using WebObjects with Eclipse then you can also find the ant tasks there. The path for this will look something like ##.../eclipse/plugins/org.objectstyle.wolips.woproject.ant//2.0.0.3458/lib/woproject.jar//##//. To use the ant plugins outside of Eclipse, either by extracting the jar file from the Eclipse distribution or by downloading it separately, you will need to install them into your computers' ant lib directory. On MacOS-X this would be ##/Developer/Java/Ant/lib/woproject.jar## (on Leopard w/ XCode 3.0, this would be /usr/share/ant/lib/##woproject.jar).##//
