Hi Ambreen,
A lot of people successfully use the following combination of software
to develop on Windows
JDK 1.4.2
WebObjects 5.2.3
Eclipse 3.0
WOLips 1.1.0.102 RC 2
Here's a step by step guide on getting your environment setup to do
WebObjects development on a Windows machine (from scratch) using the
above tools
- install Windows XP
- upgrade Windows XP Patch Level (Windows XP Service Pack 2 installs a
firewall - turn that off)
- install WinZip (download from www.winzip.com)
- install JDK 1.4.2 (download from www.javasoft.com - 1.4.2_07 is the
latest version right now)
- install WebObjects 5.2 for Windows using the WebObjects 5.2 CD for
Windows / Solaris
(when prompted for web server documents dir and scripts dir just
select the default options)
- download and install Eclipse (download from www.eclipse.org - Eclipse
SDK 3.0.2 is the latest version right now)
- I installed eclipse into C:\eclipse-3.0.2
- install WOLips
- download WOLips 1.1.0.102 RC 2 from woproject.sourceforge.net (this
is the latest version certified for Eclipse 3.0.1)
- you might have to rename the resulting file to
WOLips_1.1.0.102_RC_2.tar.gz (note the .tar.gz at the end - windows
lameness)
- create a local WOLips folder (I used C:\WOLips)
- use WinZip to untar / unzip the file to the newly created folder
above (C:\WOLips)
- launch eclipse
- select Menu Help -> Software Updates -> Find and Install...
- select Search for new features to install and click on Next
- click on New Local Site
- select directory that contains extracted wolips files (C:\WOLips)
- under "Sites to include in search:" select the newly added path
- click on Next
- under "Select the features to install:" the following should show up
- WOLips
- WOLips Profiling
- WOLips Tests
- check all of them and click on Next
- select "I accept the terms in the license agreements" and click on
Next
- click on Finish
- in the Jar verification panel(s) that show up click on Install
- a panel will show up prompting you to restart eclipse - click on
restart
- WOLips is now installed (you can delete C:\WOLips if you wish)
- create a new WebObjects application
- launch eclipse (if not already running)
- select File -> New > Project
- select WOLips WO 5.1 and 5.2 and select WOApplication, then click on
Next
- use Test2 as the project name and click on Finish
- switch to the WOLips perspective
- select Window -> Open Perspective -> Other..
- select WOLips and click on OK
- Eclipse automatically compiles your application as you make changes
- use the built in code editor to edit your code, html, and wod files
- run the application (the following steps take you through the
creation of a run "profile")
- select Run -> Run...
- select WOApplication click on New
- name the new configuration Test2
- in the "Main class" box click on Search... and then select
Application in the resulting panel
(then click OK)
- click on Apply
- then click on Run
- your WebObjects application will launch
Hope this helps.

thanks for the recommendation. i already started playing around with
webobject mostly following the online documentation on apple site
which is
good but still thought some additional help would be great.
BTW i'm presently using a mac machine and using xcode and webobjects
builder to do the development. are there tools other than this. say i
wanted to work on the windows platform? our department has mixed people
using mac and windows so we don't want the development to be
restricted to
mac.
also i was trying to find the eclipse plugin for webobjects but
couldn't
find for webobjects 5.3. can you recommend something easy to use.
thanks,
ambreen
As much as I like my book :-) it would be a bit much for a newcomer
to WO.
Apple offers training courses periodically and UberMind does as well.

Other than that, the Visual QuickPro Guide to WebObjects and the
Apple tutorials are a place to start.
