Hi Greg,
have you been through these wiki entries?
http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WOL/Quick+Start
http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WOL/Maven+Running+or+Debugging+as+WO+Application
If you're using maven you will *not* be adding frameworks to your
classpath as the ant people do. Why? You'll confuse yourself because
it won't end up in your build when deploying etc etc.
I'd suggest starting by creating a WO app with maven as documented
above, copy over the resources your found that are different from the
D2W app you created otherwise ... play :-)
