Lachlan Deck 59.1 6
Paul Hoadley 77.1 7 We're going to make a few assumptions to keep this page brief:
Lachlan Deck 19.1 8
Paul Hoadley 77.1 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. //We are actually going to assume you're using Java 8//, but only because it's just marginally easier to launch the application under Java 8. People are running WebObjects on Java 21 in production.
11 1. You have Eclipse and WOLips installed. Eclipse versions as recent as 2023-09 have been shown to be just fine, albeit with a slightly modified WOLips. Again we won't cover any of that here.

Paul Hoadley 77.2 17 You need to install Maven.

Lachlan Deck 67.1 25
Paul Hoadley 77.1 26 Add ##bin## to your path in your shell's startup file, say ##~~/.zshrc##.

Paul Hoadley 77.1 83 = Create a new application project =
Lachlan Deck 67.1 84
Paul Hoadley 77.1 85 (% class="auto-cursor-target" %)
86 Make a new directory somewhere, and run:

93 After some downloading, Maven will prompt you:

96 {{{Define value for property 'JavaVersion' 1.8: : 1.8

104 You can enter your own values if you like, but remember to stick with Java 1.8 for the moment. Hit 'Y' to confirm when requested.

120 {{{$ ./target/Foo.woa/Foo}}}

123 A browser should open and show:
