The WOProject team is proud to announce the release of WOLips 1.0.5!
WOLips is a ProjectBuilder replacement for WebObjects developers.
More specifically, WOLips is an Eclipse plug-in that support
development of WebObjects applications and frameworks. WOLips is a part
of WOProject.
Eclipse is a kind of universal tool platform – an open extensible IDE
for anything and nothing in particular. It is developed by OTI, of
VisualAge and WebSphere fame.
WOProject is a set of OS and IDE independent tools (based on Ant) for
working with WebObjects.
Ant is a Java-based build tool developed by the Apache Software
Foundation.
Eclipse, WOProject and Ant; everything is cross-platform and open
source! Currently the only platform restriction on WOLips is the use of
WOBuilder and EOModeler.
WOLips features and benefits:
1. Everything you expect from a modern state-of-the-art Java IDE.
2. Drag-and-drop installation with no configurations.
3. Import wizards for existing projects.
4. Tested on Windows and Macintosh.
5. Rapid turnaround support with code hot-swap while debugging.
6. Remote debugging of running applications
7. Continuously keeps all ProjectBuilder files up-to-date. You can work
with ProjectBuilderWO and WOLips in parallel.
8. Application profiling.
9. Wizards to create applications, frameworks, components and eomodels.
10. Fast incremental builder (in addition to Ant scripts).
11. Documentation
