Probably we would have it in Wonder under svn (or maybe somewhere else
initially, maybe googlecode, if the effort was by those of us who have
not commit rights to Wonder)
... and since any dev worth his salt has svn installed (comes with
virgin OS X SL - not sure if it was there before I installed xcode
though), so the instructions would be two command. (1) pull down the
script from svn (or a mdimension hudson build page and (2) just run it.
This might tie in with Bill Chin's (mDimension) plans to possibly
release some scripts that set up a deployment environment since there
is commonality there.

I was setting up a new SL dev environment, and just to see what the

the simplest possible path to new installation on a virgin Snow

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
