First I need to clarify that what failed to build was the *Wonder*
source. I'm using Wonder source as per http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WONDER/Working+with+Wonder+source+in+Eclipse
To answer my own questions, what I was missing which is NOT obvious
IMHO is that AFAIK the Wonder Ant build files do not use ~/
Wobuild.properties :-(.
Instead they are using their own set of properties files.
After learning Ant (sooner that I'd wished) and then reading Wonder
Ant build files I realised that Wonder uses the following properties
files:
${user.home}/build.wonder.properties and ${user.home}/
build.properties. I only tested with the first one where I set
wo.woroot to point to my folder with the WO System Frameworks and
Wonder built then built like usual.
Wonder's BUILD.txt file which only mention ~/wobuild.properties may be
misleading in this regard.
OTOH, the build.xml that's included to build new projects created by
WOLips and WOLips itself *do* use the ~/wobuild.properties so if
someone already had the Wonder stuff built, changing wo.wosystemroot
as instructed above does work.
Maybe it would less confusing if the same properties were used
everywhere, and the unused stuff removed (or at least marked as
deprecated)
Funny thing is I found the following exchange between Mike and Anjo
where Mike allude to the fact that wo.woroot is deprecated.
Well not in Project Wonder it would seem (I'm tracking Wonder CVS, so
my version is a few days old at max)
