All:
This past weekend I was traveling and looking to do some work while I
at 30,000 feet. On these flights I did not have a network connection
and it caused me a lot of trouble with Eclipse/WOLips. I guess I have
to ask the question - does WO development require a network connection
to function properly? Here's some symptoms I saw:
1. Eclipse could not resolve any dependencies to the core WebObjects
frameworks - eocontrol, foundation, etc. As a result no projects would
build. This wasn't happening when there was a network connection. If I
added the jar versions of these to the build path it would fix
everything.
2. Every time I launched Eclipse I would get an error that an
info.plist inside a framework file could not be read/parsed. I think
it gave this error on two different frameworks. I remember at one
point seeing something in the console that made it seem there was an
attempt to reach apple.com somewhere.
3. Sometimes while I was experiencing these problems I would go Build
Path >> Configure Build Path and the resulting window would be blank
and there was an error about incorrect values (or something :-)).
4. other windowing and widget strangeness, failures, errors, etc.
Admittedly I'm using Eclipse 3.5 Cocoa and WOLips for 3.5 (on Mac OS
X). All these problems go away as soon as I have an active network
connection. It seems crazy that this would be normal but, then again,
maybe I'm not normal. :-)
