1		-This tutorial will help you create a single Eclipse/WOLips project that contains both the client- and server-side classes of a WebObjects Java Client project, build both applications and then launch them both.
2		-
3		-You can also create a Java Client application using two separate Eclipse WebObjects projects. One for the server, and one for the client. This will make the separation between client and server much more obvious, but then you will have two Eclipse projects to maintain.

58		-If you don't specify a client class name for each entity, then WebObjects will automatically use EOGenericRecord as it's class. Once you want to start specifying client-side logic including default values and such, you will need to add the Client Class Name to the Entity in the EOModel, and then setup a new .eogen file in eclipse to generate the client-side classes.
