    This is one for the WOLips developers:

    How do I go about using the Incremental Builder with a Framework project and
    an Application project?

    I understand how the PB.project file is used. The framework name is listed
    and at runtime the framework paths are searched for a framework with the
    name listed and all resources and .jar files are loaded.

    How does the Incremental Builder duplicate this behaviour? Perhaps more
    generally, how does WOLips deal with Frameworks at runtime? How should we
    build frameworks? Deploy them to NEXT_ROOT/Local/Library/Frameworks or keep
    them in the project directory and refence them by path? Or does the
    incremental builder do this for us? Do we need to modify the PB.project
    file so WOBuilder will work?

    I've been using WOLips for over a year now and this is still one area where
    I'm fuzzy. I've been building all frameworks to the
    Local/Library/Frameworks folder and doing a full ant build everytime a
    change is made (very slow). Some apps reference 3 frameworks and a full
    rebuild takes a few minutes whenever a single file is changed. Incremental
    builder looks promising, but I have no idea how it works!

    Thanks.
