1 -WOLips incremental builder will not automatically create the required jar of your client-side classes and place it in the project.woa/Contents/WebServerResources/Java/ directory as is required by a Java Client application. Without the client classes placed here, the built-in Run... command will not work properly as the client application will not have access to it's classes and WebObjects will silently fail back to EOGenericRecord. This causes the confusing condition of the application launching and likely not generating any errors, but not working correctly.

17 -This code will cause the "WOLips Ant Tools -> Install" function to put the required jar file in the project's WebServerResources directory, which the incremental builder will then pick-up and place in the build directory.
36 +1. Right-Click on your project, and select Properties.
37 +1. Click on "Builders" on the right side.
38 +1. Click the "New" button.
39 +1. Select "Ant Build" and click "Okay".
40 +1. Name it "Java Client Incremental Builder"
41 +1. Under the "Main" tab, click "Browse Workspace".
42 +1. Click on your Project, and select the javaclientbuild.xml file you created in step 1, click "Okay".
43 +1. Click okay to close the Builder Properties window.
44 +1. Make sure your new Builder is checked and executes AFTER the WOLips Incremental Builder, otherwise it will error.
45 +1. Click "Okay" to exit Project Properties.

19 -You will need to "Install" your application each time prior to running it in Eclipse, but it is much better than Eclipse's Run functionality not being available to you at all.
47 +Done. You can now use the Eclipse "Run..." command just as you would for any other WOLips project.
