Hello All,
We have a number of large WebObjects projects currently being developed
using Xcode on Mac OS X. These projects consist of a number of
frameworks and some number of applications. We use subversion for
revision control on these particular projects with a custom client that
uses the name "CVS" for the admin directory so that WOBuilder and
EOModeler don't trash the subversion information. Specific questions
are at the bottom...
We have been breathlessly waiting for Eclipse 3.0 and WOLips to reach
synergy so that we can fully explore conversion. We are very interested
in taking advantage of the productivity enhancements this combination
can provide for large projects.
I've am working on getting a large project that is our pilot into some
working with this setup. As I'm a newbie to both Eclipse and WOLips, I
sometimes get confused as to which tool is responsible for the
functionality that I need to configure.
My current plan is this:
1. Create a new workspace for this project and create a WOLips
framework project for each of the frameworks, and an Application
project for each of the applications.
2. Copy the java files from the old frameworks and apps into the new
equivalent's src directories.
3. Copy the components from the old frameworks and apps into the new
equivalents directory (keeping the subdirectory Component -- is that ok
& best practice for this setup?)
4. Copy the models into their frameworks in a subdirectory named Models
and somehow setup auto generation of the 2-tier classes again
(currently done with eogenerator)
Specific Questions
1. How do you set up a model to be recognized by Eclipse/WOLips for
auto-generation. We currently use eogenerator but there appears to be a
woproject task that can do this and converting our templates are not a
big deal I imagine.
2. There are jar files in some of the frameworks that are normally
copied by a copy files build phase in Xcode into Resources/Java so that
the applications pick them up -- what is the best way to do this in the
Eclipse/WOLips environment.
3. Is there a document that covers getting started with WOLips that I'm
missing?
4. ivars don't seem to be showing up in WOBuilder -- I seem to recall
that this might be a known limitation of this version of WOLips -- is
that true?
5. THANK YOU VERY MUCH to all who make this project possible.
If anyone has tips on moving from an Xcode environment I'd love to hear
them!
