9 -0. Install Java 8 (or Java 11 ?)
10 -~1. Install Maven 3
11 -2. Update ~~/.m2/settings.xml to include the wocommunity repo
9 +1. You are running macOS X. You can probably get a WebObjects development environment up on a different OS, but we won't cover that here.
10 +1. You have Java installed. Any version will do. People are running WebObjects on Java 21 in production.
11 +1. You have Eclipse and WOLips installed. Install the [[latest version of Eclipse>>https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/]], along with the [[latest WOLips>>https://github.com/wocommunity/wolips]] if you haven't already.

137 +(% class="auto-cursor-target" %)
138 +A final, optional step is to bring the project into Eclipse.
90 90

141 +1. Using the file browser, find the top-level "Foo" folder containing the project you created above, click Open.
142 +1. Ensure ##pom.xml## is checked and click Finish.

144 +(% class="box infomessage" %)
145 +(((

148 +)))
94 94  
95 -== Step 3: Installing WebObjects Libraries ==
96 96  
97 -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:
98 98  
99 -{{noformat}}
100 -mvn wobootstrap:install -DwebObjectsLibFolder=/Library/WebObjects/lib -DwebObjectsVersion=5.4.3
101 101  
102 -{{/noformat}}
103 -
104 -**NOTE**: WebObjects must be installed.

110 -{{{NOTE: [ERROR] No plugin found for prefix 'wobootstrap' in the current project and in the plugin groups [org.apache.maven.plugins, org.codehaus.mojo] available from the repositories [local (/home/ray/.m2/repository), central ()] &#x3e; [Help 1]}}}
111 -
112 -What does one do about this error? rrk (ray at ganymede.org) 2022 06-24
113 -
114 -**See** the [[doc:WOL.maven-wobootstrap-plugin]] documentation for more information and options for specifying a specific version.

116 -**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.
117 -
118 -{{warning title="Installing the right jars!"}}
119 -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}}. For example, the jar {{code language="none"}}/Library/WebObjects/lib/JavaWebObjects.jar{{/code}} has the complete set of resources and files included for the dependency JavaWebObjects whereas {{code language="none"}}/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaWebObjects.framework/Resources/Java/javawebobjects.jar{{/code}} does not.
120 -{{/warning}}
121 -
122 -== Step 4: Creating a WebObjects or Wonder Project ==
123 -
124 -Archetypes are the fast way to create a new project using Maven and WOProject provides various archetypes of its own to get you started with WebObjects, or better, Wonder-based applications. Execute the following command to generate a basic Wonder application project:
125 -
126 -{{noformat}}
127 -mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeArtifactId=erxapplication-archetype \
128 - -DarchetypeGroupId=org.objectstyle.woproject.maven2 \
129 - -DarchetypeVersion=2.1
130 -
131 -{{/noformat}}
132 -
133 -The maven-archetype-plugin will ask the required information to create the new project.
134 -
135 -**NOTE**: You can use archetype catalogs to reduce the number of properties to set while creating a project. See the documentation of [[doc:WOL.woapplication-archetype]].
136 -
137 -**NOTE**: You can use archetypes within Eclipse as described [[here>>doc:documentation.Maven Create WO Application Project||anchor="m2eclipse"]].
138 -
139 -**NOTE:** You can see the list of available archetypes in the following location: [[http:~~/~~/wo-repository.moleque.com.br/nexus/content/groups/public/org/objectstyle/woproject/maven2/>>url:http://wo-repository.moleque.com.br/nexus/content/groups/public/org/objectstyle/woproject/maven2/||shape="rect"]].
140 -
141 -== Step 5: Importing the Project into Eclipse ==
142 -
143 -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.
144 -
145 -{{note title="Warning"}}
146 -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:
147 -
148 -1. Use the [[mvn eclipse:eclipse>>url:http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-eclipse-plugin/||shape="rect"]] goal to update your .classpath file.
149 -1. Use the [[m2eclipse>>url:http://m2eclipse.codehaus.org/||shape="rect"]] plug-in for Eclipse.
150 -1. Use the [[q4e>>url:http://code.google.com/p/q4e/||shape="rect"]] plug-in for Eclipse.
151 -{{/note}}
152 -
153 -After adding the project dependencies to your Eclipse build path, WOLips can build the project and you will be able to start developing and running the application.
154 -
155 -**NOTE**: This tutorial assumes you have chosen the option 2. You can find more information about IDE integration [[here>>doc:WOL.Home.WOProject-Maven.General Maven Documentation.WebHome||anchor="IDE Integration"]].
156 -
157 -== Step 6: Building WebObjects Applications with Maven ==
158 -
159 -Now, building your project with Maven is easy. Go to the project folder on Terminal and execute:
160 -
161 -{{noformat}}
162 -mvn clean package
163 -
164 -{{/noformat}}
165 -
166 -This goal will generate a WOA package inside the target folder of your project. It also generates two compressed packages: one for woapplication and other for the webserver resources.
167 -
168 -To install your project into your local repository:
169 -
170 -{{noformat}}
171 -mvn clean install
172 -
173 -{{/noformat}}
174 -
175 -This will install your project into {{code language="none"}}~/.m2/repository/your/project/groupId/artifactId/version/...{{/code}}
153 +(% class="auto-cursor-target" %)
154 +You're done.
