David Avendasora 31.1 1 {{tip title="Pro Tip"}}
2 If you use Hudson/Jenkins to build your WebObjects Frameworks and Applications, then you do not need to build or install either the Project Wonder frameworks or even your own Frameworks on your development machine, just having yours and the individual Wonder source code projects (ERJars, ERExtensions, AJAX, etc) open in your eclipse workspace is sufficient.

8
9 {{note title="Requires WebObjects"}}
10
11 These build instructions require the WebObjects frameworks to already be installed in the normal location:
12 * Mac OS X: {{/System/Library/Framworks/}}
13 * Linux: {{/Library/Frameworks}}
14
15 Otherwise you will get compiler errors like this:
16 {noformat}
David Avendasora 31.1 17 [wocompile] /MyProjects/MyFramework/Sources/com/mycompany/myapp/myclass:10:
18 package com.webobjects.appserver does not exist
David Avendasora 27.1 19 [wocompile] import com.webobjects.appserver.WOContext;

24 === Command Line / Terminal ===
25
26 * h5. Standard WebObjects Framework
27 You can build a standard WebObjects Framework project by calling Ant and passing it the Project directory, and the name of the build target contained in the build.xml file at your project's root.
28
29 {{code value="none"}}
30
31 cd /my/project/
32 ant build
33
34 {{/code}}
35
36 By default, the built framework will be put in a ##dist## directory in your project's root.
37
David Avendasora 31.1 38 * h5. Project Wonder Frameworks
39 This assumes that you have already downloaded the Wonder source code. Make a note of the location of the Wonder directory.
40 If you are building Project Wonder's frameworks you will use these commands instead:
David Avendasora 27.1 41
42 {{code value="none"}}
43
44 cd /path/to/Wonder
45 ant frameworks
46
47 {{/code}}
48
David Avendasora 31.1 49 By default, all the Wonder frameworks will be built to (##/Roots##) (in your home directory).

51 === Eclipse/WOLips ===
52
David Avendasora 31.1 53 * h5. Standard WebObjects Framework
54 Right-Click on your project in Eclipse and select **WOLips Ant Tools > Install**
55 [[image:WOLipsAntInstall.png||border="1"]]
56 This will build and install the framework in the location defined in the WOLips preferences, overwriting any previously installed version of the framework.
57
58 * h5. Project Wonder Frameworks
59 **You can not build projects from Wonder this way.** You must either use the command line or Hudson/Jenkins methods
60
David Avendasora 27.1 61 === Hudson/Jenkins ===
62
63 In general, it is recommended that you use Hudson/Jenkins to build your WebObjects frameworks and applications, but it is not required. You can build either from the Terminal as outlined below, or from within Eclipse directly.
64
David Avendasora 31.1 65 = Customizing the Build =
David Avendasora 27.1 66
David Avendasora 33.1 67 By modifying the values in the build.properties and wolips.properties files, you can change where Ant will look for dependencies (binary frameworks, libraries, etc.) and where it will install the build products.
68
David Avendasora 31.1 69 = Installing =
David Avendasora 27.1 70
David Avendasora 31.1 71 Assuming you already cloned and built Wonder from source using the method outlined above, you can use the following procedure pull the latest changes into your local repository.
David Avendasora 27.1 72
73 ===== Install the frameworks =====
74
75 {{code value="none"}}
76 sudo ant frameworks.install
77 {{/code}}
78
79 This copies the built frameworks from ##/Roots## to the runtime Frameworks directory:
80
81 * Mac OS X: ##/Library/Framworks/##
82 * Linux: ##/Local/Library/Frameworks##
83
84 You can combine the build and install steps by simply executing this Ant command:
85
86 {{code value="none"}}
87 sudo ant frameworks frameworks.install
88 {{/code}}
89
90 === Upgrading ===
91
92 This will clean out the existing versions of the frameworks. This isn't strictly necessary, you could just re-install over the top of the old frameworks, but deleting then manually copying over the new ones will clean up any old frameworks that are no longer included in the standard build.
93
94 1. h5. Navigate to the original Wonder source directory that you created above during initial source installation
95
96 {{code value="none"}}
97 cd /path/to/WonderSource
98 {{/code}}
99
100 1. h5. Pull the changes you do not have and merge them with your local repository
101
102 {{code value="none"}}
103 git pull
104 {{/code}}
105
106 1. h5. Build the frameworks.
107
108 {{code value="none"}}
109 ant frameworks
110 {{/code}}
111
112 1. h5. Navigate to the Roots directory that was automatically created by the initial Source installation procedure above
113
114 {{code value="none"}}
115 cd ~/Roots/
116 {{/code}}
117
118 1. h5. Delete all installed frameworks whose names match the built frameworks in this Roots build folder
119
120 {{code value="none"}}
121 for FRAMEWORK in `echo *.framework`; do sudo rm -r /Library/Frameworks/${FRAMEWORK}; done
122 {{/code}}
