    I have been a busy chap in the last 24 hours, and made some serious
    efforts to progress the WO development situation here. I've found to my
    frustration however, that there is to say the very least, a dearth of
    documentation on how to develop with WO on a PC using Eclipse/WOLips.

    I had thought that in the last couple of years, there would now be
    dozens taking this up, and therefore a good chance that someone would
    have documented the process. I therefore (perhaps naively) talked my
    current team into taking a look, and they're gung-ho to see the wonders
    of NeXT's Holy Grail in their benighted domain. :-)
    But progress so far has been very poor indeed, and I can find only one
    relatively recent walk-through at
    http://homepage.mac.com/kelleherk/iblog/C1216817469/E562266648/index.htm
    l .
    This unfortunately doesn't seem to work (perhaps for version reasons).

    So, I know I can do Mac-based WO development with my choice of tools;
    but I can't talk my team into doing that (they having the PC religion),
    and I have a number of questions:

    1) Are there people actually doing WO development on PCs with
    Eclipse/WOLips out there?
    2) Is this a viable process?
    3) Could any one of those people if they're on this list please point me
    at some doco that will help my team get going (I do have the full WO 5.2
    install disks for Mac/PC/Solaris which presumably give me the Java
    frameworks I need).

    Many thanks in advance

    Lachlan
