I don't have any idea what it might be, but here's your general purpose debug hack to try and figure out why any OSX application won't launch:

Figure out where the app lives. For instance, on my my machine, WebObjects Builder is in /Developer/Applications/. In Terminal, navigate to this location, and
you'll see no file called "WebObjects Builder", but you will see a _directory_ called
"WebObjects Builder.app". 'cd' into this directory, and you'll find a subdir called
'Contents'. Inside there, a subdir called 'MacOS'. And inside _there_, a file
called 'WebObjects Builder'. We want to execute that file from the command line:


/Developer/Applications/"WebObjects Builder.app"/Contents/MacOS/"WebObjects Builder"

On my system, since WOBuilder starts up just fine, executing the above line just
starts up WOBuilder. (There actually is some message in the console indicating some kind of weird error, but WOBuilder still starts up). Fine, I choose 'Quit' (or type control-c in the
Terminal) to exit it. If WOBuilder _hadn't_ succesfully started up, I likely would have
gotten an error message of some kind in the Terminal window. That error message
may have been useful for figuring out why it wouldn't start up.


Hope this helps,

I just downloaded and installed an evaluation copy of WebObjects 5.2 onto my 10.3.3 system and all seemed well, but I find that a number of the applications don't seem to launch correctly. When I double click them their icon zooms bigger indicating launch, but they don't end up launched WebObjects Builder and EOModeler both do this, while other applications (Interface Builder and xCode) seem to work normally.

Anyone have any idea why this might be, or what I might try?
