OK. So it is the same ERExtensions-5.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar you mention in
other parts. BTW, which command are you using to build Wonder? The
artifact seems to lack the classifier wo53 or wo54 at the end of the name.

Have you been managing dependencies manually? It seems you are not using
any plug-in to integrate Maven into Eclipse. You should really try
m2eclipse [1] or q4e [2]. All dependencies declared in your pom.xml are
added to your project classpath automatically by those plug-ins. It also
let you reference dependencies as referenced projects instead of jar
libraries.

When have you generated those jars? Did you use a fresh version of
Wonder? Did you execute one of the following commands to install the
jars into your local repository (as described in the README file)?
mvn clean install -P wo54 (for WebObjects 5.4)
or
mvn clean install -P wo53 (for WebObjects 5.3)

It should work in the same way for both. WebObjects was made to handle
both. If you find any problem on WebObjects, WOLips or Wonder just
because you are using a jar framework, it is certainly a bug. But I have
to say I use jar frameworks for all my projects and I have no blocker
problems.
Sorry for the number of questions, but I need to understand how your
environment is configured to help more.
