Hi all,
I'm sold on the benefits of using Eclipse and WOLips BUT I can't figure
out how to make it work !?
Here is a copy of the documentation on building WO applications _/with
my comments/questions (in italics):/_
The application could NOT import properly and I had to fix it manually
and it compile without complains (anymore) in Java.
Building WebObjects Applications
WOLips is built on WOProject. That means the WebObjects frameworks and
applications are built using Ant scripts. These scripts may be executed
internally (to Eclipse) or as an External Tool. WOLips also contains an
IncrementalBuilder <#incrementalbuilder> and a TargetBuilder
<#targetbuilder>. These were originally developed outside the
WOProject/WOLips project, but are now integral parts.
/When using the WOLips view I don't see the build.xml and
build.properties files ? I do see them in the regular navigator view :

/here is the content of ant.frameworks.wo.wosystemroot

To execute the Ant build script:
1. Open the Ant view (It is part of the WOLips perspective, and can
be added to any other perspective.)
2. Make sure the script you want to execute is listed in the view -
do Add Build Files.
/What script ? I guess it's an ant script right ? any example available
for a WO application ?/
1. Run the appropriate script/target - double-click the target.
or
1. Select the project's build script (do this in the Navigator view).
/Not available in wolips view ?/
1. Right-click on the script and select Run Ant (Make sure you only
select one target).
To execute the Ant build script as an external tool:
1. Select the project's build script (do this in the Navigator view).
2. Run > External Tools > Run As > Ant Build
In the preferences <../reference/preferences.html#plugin_wolips_build>
you can configure WOLips to run the when JavaBuilder is invoked.
Ant scripts are highly configurable <building.html>...
/When I build in the regular Navigator view (as outlined above) , only
the class path is wrong at runtime (for external jar), but when I try to
run it with via the run as WOApplication I get:
/
/Transient naming service activated.
[2003-09-24 17:29:27 EDT] <main> The Transaction Manager configuration
file TransactionManagerConfiguration.xml is missing in your project.
Exiting.
What is this ?

Now I'm really confused about how to use this Eclipse/IDE setup, seems
to have many interelated stuff
(eclipse/ant/wolips/woproject/java/webobjects etc.) and to figure it out
seems a long task.
When I do create a simple HelloWorld application with it it seem to run
ok though ?
Any one as a better explanation on how to setup the initial build scripts ?
Regards,
