wolips.properties

The wolips.properties file tells WOLips (and the Ant based build) where to find the various parts of WebObjects and friends. This replaces the wobuild.properties files used by earlier version (pre-New Hotness) of WOLips.

The location of this file differs by operating system:

OS X: /Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/WOLips/wolips.properties
Linux: /home/<user>/Library/Application Support/WOLips/wolips.properties
Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Library\Application Support\WOLips\wolips.properties

The wolips.properties file should be created automatically, but if this does not happen, it can be created manually (e.g. with a text editor). Example contents of this file (modify to match the locations on your machine):

wo.system.root=/System
wo.user.frameworks=/Users/chuck/Library/Frameworks
wo.system.frameworks=/System/Library/Frameworks
wo.bootstrapjar=/System/Library/WebObjects/JavaApplications/wotaskd.woa/WOBootstrap.jar
wo.network.frameworks=/Network/Library/Frameworks
wo.api.root=/Developer/ADC%20Reference%20Library/documentation/WebObjects/Reference/API/
wo.network.root=/Network
wo.extensions=/Library/WebObjects/Extensions
wo.user.root=/Users/chuck
wo.local.frameworks=/Library/Frameworks
wo.apps.root=/Library/WebObjects/Applications
wo.local.root=/

Example on Windows:

wo.system.root=C:/Apple
wo.system.frameworks=C:/Apple/Library/Frameworks
wo.bootstrapjar=C:/Apple/Library/WebObjects/JavaApplications/wotaskd.woa/WOBootstrap.jar
wo.extensions=C:/Apple/Local/Library/WebObjects/Extensions
wo.user.root=C:/username
wo.local.frameworks=C:/Apple/Local/Library/Frameworks
wo.apps.root=C:/Apple/Library/WebObjects/JavaApplications
wo.local.root=C:/Apple/Local

    On windows Vista you can find the wolips.properties in the %APPDATA%/WOLips/wolips.properties.
    There you can add:
    wo.system.root=C:/Apple
    wo.local.root=C:/Apple/Local

    Attention: it is indeed C:/Apple and not C:\Apple
