One of the changes with the new classpath changes (as you would be
using in 3.4) is that you can have the properties in build.properties
override those in WOLips.properties. So, you can add values there for
wo.system.root and wo.system.frameworks and Eclipse will pick that up.
You might find this more convenient than the woswitch script to set WO
version dependencies. I use this to work between WO 5.2 and WO 5.4,
and have found that it works well. Bear in mind that this only affects
the Eclipse classpath, so if you have anything happening outside of
Eclipse (like scripts), you'll need to make sure it's aware of those
properties too.
