As you know, if you plan to continue using WebObjects since Apple [deprecated|http://lists.apple.com/archives/webobjects-dev/2006/Aug/msg01144.html] EOModeler, WebObjects Builder and RuleModeler.  In fact, the tools are [NOT available at all|http://www.wocommunity.org/webobjects_faq.html#xcode3] on Mac OS X 10.5.  So, what's the steps to migrate ?
As you know, if you plan to continue using WebObjects since Apple [deprecated|http://lists.apple.com/archives/webobjects-dev/2006/Aug/msg01144.html] EOModeler, WebObjects Builder and RuleModeler your best option is to move to Eclipse/WOLips.  In fact, the Apple tools are [NOT available at all|http://www.wocommunity.org/webobjects_faq.html#xcode3] on Mac OS X 10.5.  So, what are the steps to migrate ?

First, you need to install the WebObjects frameworks. On Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5), the frameworks are available in the [Xcode 3.0|http://developer.apple.com/tools/download/] package. On Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4), the frameworks are available in the [Xcode 2.5|http://developer.apple.com/tools/download/].  After the frameworks are installed, you need to install [Eclipse|http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=//eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.3.1.1-200710231652/eclipse-SDK-3.3.1.1-macosx-carbon.tar.gz] and [WOLips|Install WOLips with Eclipse Update Manager].

Everything is is installed ? You can start migrating.  You have three choices for migrations for projects. 
Once everything has been installed you can begin your migration.  Depending on the complexity of your migration, you have three options for moving your projects to Eclipse/WOLips. 
* You If you only have a couple of frameworks and applications, and those projects are not very complex?  You can do a [manual migration|Import an Xcode project into WOLips].
* You If you have a couple of projects and you didn't put your components and classes in sub folders ?  Try the "[fleeto|http://www.global-village.net/migrate.to.eclipse/home]" script from [Chuck Hill|~chuckhill].
* You If you have a complex project and/or many projects ?  Use the [XcodeMigration] tool from [Pascal Robert|~probert].
