    They go into /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ replacing the ones
    already there.

    The symlink goes in the same place:

    lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 30 6 Oct 10:21
    PBXRemoteClient.framework -> DevToolsRemoteClient.framework

    This is the way I do it:

    In /System/Library/ I create a new directory: PrivateFrameworks_Alt/
    and in it I create two new directories:
            WebObjects5_2_3/
            WebObjects5_2/

    I move the existing (WebObjects 5.2.3) frameworks from
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks into
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks_Alt/WebObjects5_2_3/.

    I put the older (WebObjects 5.2) frameworks into
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks_Alt/WebObjects5_2/

    I create a pair of symlinks in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/
    pointing at the correct pair depending on my current IDE.

    For Eclipse my /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ contains:

    lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 78 6 Oct 10:20 WODevKit.framework ->
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks(Alternate)/WebObjects_5_2/
    WODevKit.framework
    lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 81 6 Oct 10:19 IDEServices.framework ->
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks(Alternate)/WebObjects_5_2/
    IDEServices.framework
    lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 30 6 Oct 10:21
    PBXRemoteClient.framework -> DevToolsRemoteClient.framework

    It is then easy to write a shell script to switch back and forth
    between Eclipse and Xcode.
