WOCreator is a Maven plug-in that can be used to create initial Maven project templates for J2EE WebObjects applications.
Who might want to use this plug-in (or who might want to use Maven)? People who want to develop for both WebObjects 5.3 and WebObjects 5.4 on any operating system.
People who want to deploy WebObjects applications to a standard Java application server (without requiring WebObjects to be installed). This plug-in creates Maven project templates that will build WebObjects applications as stand-alone J2EE Web Application Archives (WARs) containing your applications and all the required frameworks. If you want to deploy your applications to JBoss, Tomcat, Jetty etc then you may be interested in using this plug-in.
Who probably won’t want to use this plug-in? This plug-in creates Maven project templates that will produce WARs. If you want to deploy your applications as .WOAs then you probably won’t want to use this plug-in.
What has changed in this version? This release of wocreator contains minor updates needed to use this plug-in to create maven projects for developing WebObjects 5.4 applications.
The changes are that if you specify -DwebObjectsVersion=5.4 this plug-in will no longer include java-wo-jsp-servlet-client in the dependencies as it has been merged with java-wo-jsp-servlet in WebObjects 5.4.
Also, the top-level pom will specify that Java 1.5 should be used for WebObjects 5.4 projects. Finally, the top-level pom has been updated to reference a more recent version of log4j (unrelated to supporting WebObjects 5.4).
More Information You can find more information about the WOCreator plug-in (including a screen cast showing the use of the plug-in) at the project web site: http://wocreator.sourceforge.netIn order to use the WOCreator plug-in you need Maven 2 which is included with Leopard. If you are using another operating system, you can find Maven at: http://maven.apache.org
