Hello;
I have an installer that combines everything in one installer. It has
been tested on windows, redhat linux, suse linux, ubuntu linux, and
various other OSs. Since there was already an installer for OS X I
didnt include OS X support. It should work but I have never tried it.
The installer installs WOLips, Wonder, WebObjects, and a few other
things (like a fix to allow auto open in browser on windows and unix
platforms. The installer performs all of the configuration. It
probably does need to be updated to support newer versions of Eclipse,
I believe it installs 3.4 but I wont swear to that. Been awhile since
I have had to modify it.
It is available at http://web.me.com/pccdonl/wo.jar. To run the
installer you need to have java installed on your machine and type in
java -jar wo.jar. Then follow the instructions, you should have a
fully operational installation after it completes.
What the installer does is download all the separate pieces from all
the different locations (Apple, Wonder, WOLips, Eclipse, etc) and
installs them for you in a single installer.

I was setting up a new SL dev environment, and just to see what the
initial installation and setup procedure would be like for a
complete newbie on SL, I looked on the wiki for instructions for the
simplest possible path to new installation on a virgin Snow Leopard.
It seems that really, a newbie would probably be confused and would
probably struggle. :-(
After installing WebObjects 5.4.3 using Apple's dmg installer and
then installing the "All In One" Eclipse/WOLips installer from
Jeremy's .mac page (since the sisu download was slow as molasses
with an est time of 1 day+!), I then hit a roadblock, getting an
error when launching Eclipse after running Jeremy's installer.
" An Error has occurred"
" See the log file ~/.eclipse/...../blahblah.log"
That error log file is full of "missing required bundle" messages.
Anyway, just FYI, I don't have time for troubleshooting this
now .... I am doing my usual 3.4.2 download and install/setup the
manual way.
Since Jeremy is not working in WO anymore and this is AIO (All In
One) installer is clearly broken for install on a virgin OS X Snow
Leopard box, we might want to just discontinue the all-in-one
installer and just go write a concise "WebObjects Developer Quick
Start Guide" for newbies .......so I started a wiki page on this and
will work on completing it as I get time. Any thoughts on that?
Should I wipe all references on the wiki to the AIO?
If we are ever going to get new devs to come to WebObjects, we need
to have a working quick start. Any dev worth his salt should be
comfortable on the command line, so maybe a bash install script that
downloads and installs various bits and configures everything might
be the better route. Any opinions on that?
BTW, I went to use the WOInstaller.jar initially and thinking that a
newbie would want standard install paths, I set the WOInstaller.jar
target as "/", but got an error saying System directory already
exists. Should the WOInstaller.jar's CPIO class be changed to just
overwrite existing files? Does that "overlay" directory paths (aka
merge eith existing files if named differently, or does it realyl
"replace" existing directories (ie., wiping them out)?
Anyway, this is just some meandering thoughts / discussion before I
leave off the "How would a newbie WO dev fare on getting started"
for now and go do some work.
Regards, Kieran
