3 -There are two different and very distinct kinds of builds for a WebObjects project. Both make use of the ##woproject.jar## library that is embedded in WOLips to help Eclipse, Ant and Maven build a valid WebObjects Application (##.woa##) or WebObjects Framework (##.framework##) bundle.
4 -
5 -Both Incremental and Deployment builds make use of some common files to tell them where to look for resources needed to build an application or framework. They include:
6 -
7 -1. **build.properties**
8 -This file resides in the root directory your WebObjects project. It may be hidden from your view by Eclipse's ability to filter the displayed files in the //WO Explorer// view, but if you look in the project's directory in the finder/desktop/command line you will see it.
9 -1. **[[WOL:wolips.properties]]**
10 -This file can contain and override the same settings as the build.properties file, but it's primary purpose is to define the locations that a build done by Eclipse or Ant will look for compiled framework dependencies in. The default location of this file is:
11 -1*. **Mac OS X**: ##/Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/WOLips/wolips.properties##
12 -1*. **Linux**: ##/home/<user>/Library/Application Support/WOLips/wolips.properties##
13 -1*. **Windows**: ##C:ocuments and Settingsuser>ibrarypplication SupportOLipsolips.properties##

19 -While you are writing your classes and Components (.html, .wod, etc.) the incremental builder is running in the background continuously compiling and validating your code against your projects other code and dependencies. You can launch your applications from within WOLips/Eclipse with no need to manually compile or install any source code either from your current project, or from any frameworks in the workspace that your project depends upon. WOLips/Eclipse takes care of resolving dependencies for things that are not in the locations they will be in in a deployed ##.woa## or ##.framework## bundle. The Incremental Builder does not use Ant or Maven. Just because your project runs fine in Eclipse/WOLips does not necessarily mean it will build, let alone run, when using Ant or Maven.
5 +While you are writing your classes and Components (.html, .wod, etc.) the incremental builder is constantly running in the background compiling and validating your code against your projects other code and its dependencies. Building WebObjects Frameworks and Applications during development is handled directly by Eclipse/WOLips using the Incremental Builder that by default automatically compiles and validates your classes and components as you type. You can launch your applications from within WOLips/Eclipse with no need to compile or install any source code frameworks in the workspace that they depend on.
