    WOLip's Entity Modeler does not depend on Xcode. If you edit your
    model with Entity Modeler don't expect to be able to go back and open
    it up in EOModeler.

    Sounds like you need to verify your connection dictionary.

    Correct.

    Firstly, upgrade your WOLips to the latest stable release. There was
    a flurry of activity up until the stable release. 2.0.0.4118 I
    believe it was. Make sure your update site is ..../stable. See http://
    wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WOL/Install+WOLips+with
    +Eclipse+Update+Manager

    with regards,
