Hi Jay,

I'm interested in developing a few test WO applications, just for

good friend who needed a computer and didn't have a lot of money to
invest),
Now that is the definition of friend!
but I have researched some and found that the Eclipse IDE is
worthwhile for Windows WO development.
And also, I will note, worthwhile for OS X development as well.
I have the Eclipse software installed and the WOLips add-on for WO
development, but have realized that it actually requires the WO
framework to be installed.
Yes, it does.
Is there anywhere that I can get the framework for a Windows
development box. I've seen references to downloading a trial
version of WO for Windows 2000 once upon a time, but haven't found
anything quite like that in ADC. I also noticed that the 5.2
version of WO is still available for purchase on the Apple store,
but I just wanted to try it out and not invest in something that
will likely be obsolete with the next release (hopefully, open
source) of WO.
There is no installer for platforms other than OS X. You will need a
Mac, Pacifist, and the dmg of WebObjects. You then extract the
needed pieces and move them to Windows. This will not give you the
dev tools, but WOLips has replacements. If you ask on the WOLips
list, someone might have instructions.
You will also need to compile the CGI and mod_webobjects adaptors
for Windows. I can give you Win2K versions if you want.
I'm waiting for the next release of OSX to get another Mac, but
would like to do some development and learning first. Then once I
have my new Mac (probably a MacBook), I can start using the next
version of XCode.
I would not. Apple is deprecating their Xcode and tool support in
favor of WOLips.
I'm also wondering if the open source initiatives that were
mentioned include releasing the WO framework into the public domain
for free distribution.
I really rather doubt that will ever happen, if for no reason other
than it would expose a lot of Apple's IP.
