Introducing WOCreator
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)?
Jake,
Thanks for making the code (and the screencast) available. Nice
preparation to make that even before the WOWODC07 (or was it because
the recording somehow failed on the meeting? ;-)
I do have some questions.
The screencast download gives problems. the downloads stalled every
time in the browsers I used.
People using Safari are then prevented from seeing the complete
podcast, because the second time the partial download will be in the
Quicktime cache. You might add a warning to remove the quicktime
cache (in Library/Caches/Quicktime) before one tries to redownload
the screencast if the download stalled. Firefox does try a complete
reload.
I ended up using:
curl -C - -O --retry 10 http://wocreator.sourceforge.net/wocreator-
large.mov
several times to get it.
I noticed the hsqlb.java. What was that? A webobjects plugin? It so,
it would be nice to add it to the Wonder database plugins?
How did you make the screencast?
Then, I wonder if wocreator is also running in Eclipse?
I noticed you used a different file structure as that Eclipse is
doing if one creates a WebObjects application. Is that because of the
specific demands of the j2ee/war structure? Are these things
incompatible?
I also was wondering if this approach could be used in a standard
wotaskd environment.
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.
People who want to develop WebObjects applications using their
choice of Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and Operating
System. Using Maven to build WebObjects applications does not
require a particular IDE or Operating System. Once you have a Maven
project, you can use other Maven plug-ins to generate project files
for a range of popular IDEs (including Eclipse, NetBeans, JBuilder
and IntelliJ IDEA).
People who are interested in using Maven to build WebObjects
applications. If you already use Maven, or are interested in using
Maven, 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.
This plug-in is not required to use Maven to build WebObjects
applications. It simply automates the creation of the initial Maven
project structure. If you are already using Maven and are happy
creating the initial project structure then you probably won’t want
to use this plug-in.
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.net
In order to use the WOCreator plug-in you need Maven 2. You can
find Maven at:
http://maven.apache.org
