Project WONDER-Installing

There are two ways to install Project WOnder - binary distribution or building from source.

Nightly Build Server

The easiest way is to install the binary distribution. m Dimension Technology runs a nightly build server for Project WOnder that preserves historical builds at http://webobjects.mdimension.com/hudson/job/Wonder54/lastStableBuild/artifact/dist/ . Simply grab the Wonder-Frameworks.tar.gz archive and uncompress it into your /Library/Frameworks folder, and you have successfully installed Project WOnder.

Build from Source Using ant

The second, slightly more annoying, way to install WOnder is to build it yourself from the SourceForge CVS tree.

1. cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@wonder.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/wonder login
2. There is no password
3. cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@wonder.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/wonder co -P Wonder
4. cd Wonder
5. You will need to make sure you have a wobuild.properties file in ~/Library/. The contents should be similar to this:

   wo.dir.root=/
   wo.woroot=/
   wo.dir.user.home.library.frameworks=/Users/username/Library/Frameworks
   wo.dir.local=/
   wo.wosystemroot=/System
   wo.dir.library=/System/Library
   wo.dir.user.home.library=/Users/username/Library
   wo.dir.local.library=/Library
   wo.dir.library.frameworks=/System/Library/Frameworks
   wo.dir.local.library.frameworks=/Library/Frameworks
   wo.wolocalroot=/
   wo.dir.system=/System
   eclipse.home=/Developer/Applications/Java\ Tools/Eclipse/

Lastly, run "ant dist", "ant frameworks", or "ant examples".

This will build all the frameworks and applications into ~/Roots.

Build From Source in eclipse

While you are editing and building your Wonder application in Eclipse, you can also have the Wonder source available to eclipse so that your build environment sees the frameworks' sources.

There is a tutorial that will help you do this.
