Don,
This is great news ........ I had forgotten about your installers. The
wiki is easily updatable if you get an account. The only reason
accounts are needed is to stop autobots/spammers/etc.
Don, just go here and create an account and make a page named Dons
Installers and attach all your installers to that and I can link to
them from appropriate pages.
http://issues.objectstyle.org/jira/
If you want help with these you could set up a googlecode svn repo and
let a few of us on there, or if Wonder folks believed that these are
valuabel, then they might give you access to maintain these in the
Wonder/Utilities space, and Mike S might, if he felt the urge, add
them to the Hudson build server so that the latest installers for
various platforms were readily available.

I have no problems with it being hosted at object style. As long as
there is a way for me to update it when it is updated, be it
procedural by sending it to someone or uploading to a specific
location.
I also have deployment installers for all Linux, and windows
versions. This sets up deployment on the aforementioned Operating
Systems (OS X excluded as it has always supported deployment). I
also have one that installs deployment in tomcat 5.5
Thanks

Is there any chance it could be hosted at objectstyle? The only
reason I ask is that I think url's can matter - having consistent
url's for things WO could make the effort seem a lot more
centralized. One link and you would know you're downloading a
working installer from the same site where the tools are hosted.
Then following on Kieran's idea, we could have a separate link to a
repository for those interested in tracking/committing changes to
an installer.

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 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
