    Hi Eric,

    sorry for the delay. Your question requires a long answer.

    From the docs:

    Properties:
    WOApplication behavior depends on various properties in the
    wobuild.properties file that specify common locations of the frameworks used
    by the application. These properties can be initialized with the ant script
    woproperties.xml. Per default the woapplication task expects this file in
    $user.home/Library/wobuild.properties. If no file is found the woapplication
    task resolves the property WOBUILD_PROPERTIES from the java properties and
    the environment(in this order) to find the file.

    To generate these propertie srun the build file woproperties.xml included in
    the woproject download.

    To load these properties in your build.xml:

    <!-- property determination -->

    <target name="setProps">

    <property file="build.properties"/>

    <property
    file="${user.home}${file.separator}Library${file.separator}wobuild.propertie
    s"/>

    <condition property="wo.properties.check.failed">

    <not>

    <and>

    <isset property="wo.wosystemroot"/>

    <isset property="wo.wolocalroot"/>

    </and>

    </not>

    </condition>

    <fail message="Could not find
    ${user.home}${file.separator}Library${file.separator}wobuild.properties."
    if="wo.properties.check.failed"/>

    <property name="install.dir"
    value="${wo.wolocalroot}/Library/WebObjects/Applications"/>

    </target>

    After that you can use the properties.

    I see all the busy posts, so I know you are still quite involved in the new
    release. Have you had any time to think about my question.

    Thanks for your time.

    - Eric

    BTW, I am not an Eclipse user, but an IDEA user. I may have some time
    freeing up in the fall. I want to learn more about what integration you
    offer to the Eclipse users, and if I get the time, try to offer the same
    integration to IDEA users. Would this contribution to the project be
    welcome?

    Sounds good.

    Ulrich
