Hi Chuck,
first thank you very much for your patience with such a latecomer like me!

Hello everybody,
today I tempted fate and installed WO 5.4 on an Windows system (based
on an MacBook) for development parallel to an existing 5.2 installation.
After trying the tutorial for parallel handling from the wiki without
any success I simply copied the new Framework directories into the old
location. Not very elegant but seems to work: I could compile in
Eclipse (3.5, WOLips 3.4.5872).
But I did not succeed in making an ant build. I always get the message
"There is not root named "C:/Apple" in [[Root: name= Project...." when
coming to the compile target. Alas I haven't the faintest idea what is
meant by that. Could somebody help me, please?? Is the problem related
to the new framework/classpath handling I hadn't understand either?
Yes, you need to update the build files. The easiest is to create a new
project and move the build.xml file over. This will NOT be compatible
with older versions of WOLips (pre-New Hotness). Look in the
woapplication task for a section like:
<frameworks root="C:/Apple" ...
It should be more like
<frameworks root="System"
embed="${your.property.here}"
eclipse="true" />
OK, for starting from scratch and learning I make a fresh new TestApp
and tried to build that. At first try the ant build needs a new
"wolips.properties" which I created. This took me one step further but
now the build fails with the message "Could not find wobuild.properties.
Run the buildfile: woproperties.xml first".
But I have the normal old-fashioned wobuild.properties in the standard
location. And I could not find any "woproperties.xml" file. Do I have to
place the wobuild.properties in a special location or to configure it
somewhere in Eclipse?
At the moment I found it very confusing: I found 3 locations where the
installation of framework path are defined:
- classpath-variables (Eclipse during startup from NEXT_ROOT?)
- wobuild.properties
- wolips.properties
and even there are multiple properties to the same path in one file.
By the way, the licence terms of the 5.4 version leave some points
unclear, especially section 4 about termination. I tried to get
information from Apple, but at least at the german telephone sites
there was no much help. Does anybody knows an email contact at apple
for official information ("email@hidden" did come back)?
I don't have the license handy. Do you have a link or can you paste in
that section?
The legals are here: http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/xcode.pdf
The section I found unclear is:
"4. Termination. ... In addition, Apple reserves the right to terminate
this Licence if a new version of Apple's operating system software or
the Developer Software is released wich is incompatible with this
version of the Developer Software. Upon the termination of this Licence,
you shall cease all use of the Developer Software and destroy all
copies, full or partial, of the Developer Software."
What is meant by "incompatible"? A update from 5.4.3 to 5.4.4 or to 6.0?
Does this imply deployed applications too? There is no mentioning how do
you get notice of a termination at all. And as I would interpret this
section this would even apply if you do not upate your development system.
This is not a very trustable ground for developing to-be-sold software
upon. I rather would like to pay for software I am free to use as long
as I like (and on any platform I like)!
Regards,
Susanne
