There also needs to be a ClasspathClient.txt file there. Just the

contain only the paths to the frameworks required by the client
(hence the filename, I guess :). Is there a way to have this
generated by WOLips or Ant?
I'm sure there is. That classpath file is relatively static and
depending on where you put your custom frameworks (in or out of
the .woa bundle) you might not have to modify it at all.
I'm assuming that Xcode generated this on-the-fly at build-time as
I can't find it anywhere but in a Xcode-built app. Also of interest
is the fact that if the ClasspathClient.txt file exists, WO uses
that instead of whatever the normal source for it is.
The interesting thing is that unless you add your client-side class
jar file to, it no longer just finds them in build/MyApp.woa/
Contents/WebServerResources/Java. You have to add them to this
file. So it's a kind-of cascading effect that if you want Auto Open
Client Application to work, you have to also change the way you
manage your client-side class path to using the ClasspathClient.txt
file, which means adding some way of generating this file. I'd
rather not just rely on it being static, because sooner or later
I'll change something (add a client-side framework like JBND) and
then it will take a while for me to figure out why the client
doesn't see it.
I guess the trick is to find a list of the WO frameworks required
by the client-side of Java Client apps, add on any
WebServerResources/Java jars.
Anybody have any suggestions?
Perhaps your build target call some target post-build that could (re)
generate the ClasspathClient.txt file based on the project's
dependencies...
