    Update WOProject/WOLips tutorial pages to reflect Eclipse 3.4.2/WOLips 3.4.5830 GUI and workflow changes
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                     Key: WOL-1133
                     URL: http://issues.objectstyle.org/jira/browse/WOL-1133
                 Project: WOProject/WOLips
              Issue Type: Improvement
              Components: WOLips General
        Affects Versions: WOLips Stable
             Environment: Mac OS X 10.6.2 on Macbook Pro Core Duo; 2GB RAM; JVM 1.6
                Reporter: Gregory Hill
                Priority: Minor

    I am brand new to Web Objects, and downloaded Eclipse 3.4.2 and the latest stable version of WOLips (according to "About Eclipse Platform Plug-ins", that would be 3.4.5830). I tried the automated process through the package installer, but Eclipse wouldn't start. I'm guessing 3.4.0 won't run on Snow Leopard.

    Anyway, I have been working my way through the tutorials, and there are several discrepancies between the documentation and reality. Some are simply UI changes. But others are workflow and expected content.

    For example, in the "Add a Framework Dependency" tutorial, after clicking on "Add a Library...", you skip the first screen of the wizard ("Select the library type to add").

    Then, in step 3, you state: "If you look at the "Local" frameworks (all of the entries in your /Library/Frameworks folder), you can select "ERExtensions" and "ERJars" from the list and click "Finish". Why not grab the "Ajax" framework while you at it!"

    There is nothing that looks in any way like "ERExtension", "ERJars" or "Ajax".

    This is by no means an enormous problem (unless your tutorials depend on these frameworks later on; I haven't gone any further), but it does reduce the overall effectiveness of the tutorials.

    Is there a more-up-to-date tutorial or set of docs that capture the latest LaF of WOLips? If so, where can I find them?
