I can't remember if I posted these or not, but these are the
instructions I put together at a client's last month:
1) Create the structure:
C:\Apple
C:\Apple\Local\Library\Frameworks (equivalent to /Library/Frameworks
on the Mac)
C:\Apple\Library\Frameworks (equivalent to /System/Library/Frameworks
on the Mac)
2) Copy all the frameworks from /System/Library/Frameworks on a Mac
that are named Java* except for JavaScriptCore and JavaVM to C:\Apple
\Library\Frameworks
3) If you copied a 5.2, you will need to put a Windows License.key in
JavaWebObjects.framework/Resources. If you copied a 5.3, I think it's
a universal license key.
4) Create a wobuild.properties file in C:\Documents and Settings\<your
user>\Library with the contents:
wo.woroot=C:/Apple
wo.wolocalroot=C:/Apple/Local
wo.wosystemroot=C:/Apple
wo.homeroot=C:/Temp
eclipse.home=C:/Programs Files/eclipse
wo.dir.library.frameworks=C:/Apple/Library/Frameworks
5) Install eclipse 3.3.1.1
6) Install WOLips nightly from http://webobjects.mdimension.com/wolips/nightly
That should be it, I think? The things that are problematic right now
on Windows:
1) The woproject/*.patternset don't work quite right on Windows. You
can work around it by converting Components/**/*/etc/** to Components/
*, same w/ Resources and WebServerResources
2) Couple images have backgrounds that should not
3) Outline view in component editor is not right
4) AutoOpenInBrowser doesn't work unless you override
Application._isSupportedDevelopmentPlatform to return true
I THINK that was it, but there might have been a couple other misc
items.
