7 If you want to use Wonder in your applications (and why woundn't one) you must be correctly setup with:
8
9 * eclipse + wolips > see tutorial about installation and operation.
10 * Maven > see the Maven [[Quick Start]] tutorial.
11 * plugins like [[m2eclipse>>http://m2eclipse.codehaus.org/]] which supports Maven-eclipse integration.
12 * Wonder sources which then are built and installed in your local repository.
13
14 One reasonable way to get and maintain the Wonder sources is have a directory which holds all the sources (see here: [[Download Wonder Source>>http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WONDER/Download+Wonder+Source%2C+Build+and+Install]]), then use Maven to install and build Wonder (see here: [[Building the wonder source code with maven]]).
15
16 Several things you should know, currently:
17
18 * Wonder is built using a maven "build profile", e.g. "mvn clean install --P wo53" builds things for a WebObjects 5.3.x environment and "mvn clean install --P wo54" builds things for a WebObjects 5.4.x environment.
19 * The only frameworks which are different because of this are ERExtensions and WOOgnl.
20 * Because of this difference you must specify which version you want. For instance, you may want the ERExtensions-5.0.0-SNAPSHOT-wo53.jar, or the ERExtensions-5.0.0-SNAPSHOT-wo54.jar. You specify by adding a "classifier", which would have the value of wo53 or wo54. The other frameworks should not have this classifier.
21
22 With all the tools ready, it's time to make a Wonder application.
23
24 ~1. Make a new project File > New > Other project, choose a Maven project: [[image:wolimmave2.gif]]
25
26 2. Hit Next
27
28 3. Hit Next again [[image:wolimmavena.gif]]
29
30 4. Select an archtype, use the local catalog, select the woapplication-archtype, hit Next:!wolimmavenb.gif!
31
32 5. Fill in appropriate parameters for the woapplication-archtype to set up your new application, hit Finish!
33
34 [[image:wolimmaven.gif]]
35
36 The eclipse plugins now create your application!
37
38 You should create a WOApplication Run Configuration and add the projects build folder's Java to the classpath as detailed here: [[Maven Running or Debugging as WO Application]], otherwise classes won't be found, etc.
39
40 {{note title="Warning"}}
41 The woapplication-archtype is under construction, so you must fix a few things.
42 # Fix the pom.xml. Delete the properties and dependencies sections that the woapplication-archtype created, and paste this into the pom:
43 {code:xml}
44
45 <properties>
46 <woversion>5.3.3</woversion>
47 <wonderversion>5.0.0-SNAPSHOT</wonderversion>

111
112 {code} Fix the versions and classifiers in the pom to be the correct values.
113
114 2. Fix the Application, Session, DirectAction jave files. They all should: {code}import er.extensions.appserver.ERX????{code} But the ".appserver." is left out of the import statements.
115
116 3. Possibly change web components to extend er.extensions.components.ERXComponent instead of the standard WOComponent.
117 4. Possible classpath issues; the eclipse component editor has multiple Component and Display Group tabs.?
118 5. Main component is NSMacOSRomanStringEncoding, non-Maven Wonder apps use "UTF-8" in the woo.
