36 -Then in your bash profile, ensure your path and java home are updated:
23 +Before start using Maven, you have to configure it in order to use the plug-ins provided by WOProject. General Maven configuration is made in a settings.xml file. This file can be found in a folder called ##.m2## in each user's home directory (,,/.m2 on Unix systems and C:ocuments and SettingsserNamem2 on Windows). If this file does not yet exist, you can just create it.,,

70 70  == Step 3: Installing WebObjects Libraries ==
71 71  
72 72  Maven takes control of all your project's dependencies. To develop WebObjects applications, Maven has to reference the WebObjects jars. You have to install the WebObjects libraries into your local repository to accomplish this:
73 73  
74 74  {{noformat}}
75 -mvn wobootstrap:install -DwebObjectsLibFolder=/Library/WebObjects/lib -DwebObjectsVersion=5.4.3
76 76  
113 +mvn wobootstrap:install
114 +
77 77  {{/noformat}}
78 78  
79 -**NOTE**: WebObjects must be installed.
117 +**NOTE**: WebObjects must be installed. See the [[maven-wobootstrap-plugin]] documentation for more information. See [[Maven Introduction to Repositories>>http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-repositories.html]] if you want more information about Maven repositories.
80 80  
81 -**See** the [[doc:maven-wobootstrap-plugin]] documentation for more information and options for specifying a specific version.
119 +{{warning title="Installing the right jars!"}}
82 82  
83 -**See** [[Maven Introduction to Repositories>>url:http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-repositories.html||shape="rect"]] if you want more information about Maven repositories.
121 +Do *not* link to or install the WebObjects jars located inside {{/System/Library/Frameworks}} or {{/Library/Frameworks}}. If you're installing an older version of WebObjects you must obtain the jars that the WebObjects installer had previously installed into {{/Library/WebObjects/lib}}. For example, the jar {{/Library/WebObjects/lib/JavaWebObjects.jar}} has the complete set of resources and files included for the dependency JavaWebObjects whereas {{/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaWebObjects.framework/Resources/Java/javawebobjects.jar}} does not.
84 84  
85 -{{warning title="Installing the right jars!"}}
86 -Do **not** link to or install the WebObjects jars located inside {{code language="none"}}/System/Library/Frameworks{{/code}} or {{code language="none"}}/Library/Frameworks{{/code}}. If you're installing an older version of WebObjects you must obtain the jars that the WebObjects installer had previously installed into {{code language="none"}}/Library/WebObjects/lib{{/code}}.

108 108  == Step 5: Importing the Project into Eclipse ==
109 109  
110 110  The new project is ready to be imported into Eclipse workspace. Use the Eclipse's import wizard (File > Import...) and choose the option "Existing Projects into Workspace". Select the root directory of your new project and finish the import wizard.

113 113  As Maven takes care of the dependency management, you must use a mechanism to add the jars to your Eclipse build path. There are 3 options:
