6 - These Maven built frameworks are slightly different than the ant built frameworks. For example, the Ajax framework has dependencies on json, and the ant built Ajax.framework includes a jabsorb-1.2.2.jar, whereas the Maven built Ajax.framework does not include this jabsorb-1.2.2.jar. This is, of course, because Maven dependencies are detailed in the pom.xml, and will be pulled in via standard Maven mechanisms. The frameworks are not interchangeable--at least without manipulating dependencies.

26 -and most frameworks are the same for either version of WebObjects, and have nor need any qualifier.
26 +Note: currently the only frameworks that make use of the classifier, having differing classes and resources for them, are ERExtensions and WOOgnl.

28 -To utilize these frameworks in a wonder supported project, one must add the correct dependency, and this will depend on which profile you want to link to. This is done by a maven "classifier", which is used to select the correct qualifier. A qualifier is part of the basic artifact coordinate system:
28 +So, in your project for both ERExtensions and WOOgnl you'll need to define these as dependencies in the following form:
29 29  
30 -<major version>.<minor version>.<incremental version>-<qualifier>
30 +{{code value="xml"}}
31 31  
32 -For ERExtensions, this is: 5 . 0 . 0-SNAPSHOT - wo54; which selects the correct dependency for WebObjects 5.4.x. In the pom dependencies section this would be
32 +<dependency>
33 + <artifactId>Foo</artifactId>
34 + <groupId>wonder.core</groupId>
35 + <classifier>bar</classifier>
36 + <version>baz</version>
37 +</dependency>
33 33  
39 +{{/code}}
40 +
41 +Where //Foo// is either ERExtensions or WOOgnl, //bar// is either wo53, wo54, or wo55 etc, and //baz// is either 5.0.0-SNAPSHOT or some fixed release version.

43 +For all other wonder frameworks you either leave out the classifier definition or leave it blank. Here's a complete example showing the two frameworks that require a classifier in the dependency declaration together with another that doesn't.

70 +
71 +It is important to understand how dependencies are uniquely resolved when defining your dependencies.
72 +
73 +If you've utilised a dependency management section in your pom (or uppermost parent pom) then, according to [Maven's Dependency Management|http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html#Dependency_Management], the minimal set of information for matching a dependency reference against a dependencyManagement section is actually *groupId, artifactId, type, classifier*. In many cases, these dependencies will refer to jar artifacts with no classifier. This allows us to shorthand the identity set to *groupId, artifactId*, since the default for the type field is jar, and the default classifier is null.
74 +
75 +Thus, for those wonder dependencies that require a classifier, the set of information required is: *group, artifactId, classifier* which accepts the default type of jar. For those that have no need for a classifier, you'll only need *group, artifactId*.
76 +
77 +{color:red}If you've not used a dependency management section then you'll additionally need to specify the *version* of the dependency in order for it to be resolved.{color}
78 +
79 +You'll notice that the qualifier / classifier is part of the basic artifact coordinate system that the wonder team has chosen to follow:
80 +<major version>.<minor version>.<incremental version>-<qualifier>
81 +
82 +For ERExtensions, this is: 5 . 0 . 0-SNAPSHOT - wo54;

87 +
88 +Java, of course, can work with anything you choose to place on your classpath. However, it's surely wise to avoid tripping yourself right?! If you're using maven to determine your classpath then I (ldeck) advise -- though nothing will stop the unwilling -- not additionally using the standard WOLips ant-based dependency management in conjunction with mavens.
89 +
90 +That is to say, you need to understand why this would be a bad idea. Ant-based builds from wonder include their transitive dependencies in their final build; maven's do not because maven is able to resolve dependencies during your build whereas the ant-based builds won't (unless they add ivy or something similar to the mix). WOLips ant-based dependency management has quite entirely different means for resolving its dependencies and as such unless you know what your doing you should avoid mixing and matching systems.
