Thanks Chuck,
You are right, we are going to change all development environments
to use the same WOLips.
A new question:
We were still using Apple's EOModeler, we haven't switched to the
WOLips Entity modeler and the new class structured. Now that we are
working with Leopard we want to leave EOModeler.
Do you know any tutorial to migrate old class' structure to the new
one and how to use the entity modeler, something we should know?.

Ok, I installed the nightly version of WOLips
I created a Test application and then wolips.properties was
created automatically.
I can see some changes at this point compared with the WOLips
version I used with Eclipse Europa.
In the WO Explorer I dont see anymore the WebObjects Framework
Library and the way I include frameworks has changed but I think
is for better.
The second thing is that I ran the build.xml and I see a new way
for building the distribution version, it makes a split style
installation, thats good, but I cant find the wobuild.properties
file. Is that correct in this distribution of WOLips?
Mike says that changing Preferences=>WOLips=>Build=>build
properties to "wolips.54.properties" or "wolips.53.properties" I
can work with WO 5.3 or 5.4.
My question is, in this version of WOLips the wobuild.properties
file is it not longer necessary? nor for development nor for
building the distribution version?
It is not used for anything.
If I create to different wolips.properties files and configure
WOLips for using each one depending if I want to work with WO 5.3
or 5.4 is that all that I need to do for development and building
distribution version?
Yes, though command line builds will, I think, add some extra
complication.
And one more question, the structure of biuld.xml file has chnaged?
Should I change my old biuld.xml files of my projects?
If there are things in the new build that you want to use.
I am interested on it because I still have computers using Mac OS
X 10.4 - WO 5.3. If the structure of the build.xml file changed
should I expect problems sharing projects between development
environments?
Thanks for all your help.
You will want to use the same version of WOLips/WOProject on all
your machines. If you don't you will have problems as
the .classpath file structure has changed.

Thanks for all your responses,
First, Yes I tried with the stable version of WOLips.
Before I saw your responses I copied both files
(wolips.properties and wobuild.properties) from my other
development machine (eclipse Europa - WOLisp - WebObjects 5.3)
and my test project worked.
Then I tried with woswitch and it appears that works.
Chuck mentioned that it is outdated but as far as understand
it just create four files (wobuild.properties54,
wobuild.properties53, wolips.properties53 and
wolips.properties54) and use them to replace wolips.properties
and wobuild.properties depending on your needs.
This is the content of each one
wobuild.properties54

I am not an expert on configuring WOLips but I think this is
valid for switching between WebObjects 5.4 and 5.3 or some of
you guys with your experience see something that could be wrong?
Now I will delete eclipse and try with the nightly version
just to verify that version does create wolips.properties file.
Thanks

Hi list,
I just bought a new macbook and I am configuring it to
continue developing our projects, this is the first computer
with Leopard in our company, all of our projects works with
WebObjects 5.3 so I am looking for a way to do so.
I found a tutorial here
http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WO/WO+5.4+Getting+Started
I am trying the following method
Alternative 5.3 / 5.4 development method
It says:
"The woswitch script can be used as an alternative method to
installing and using WO 5.3 for development, without the
need to touch or move any of the installed WO 5.4
frameworks. This script will download and install the
WebObjects 5.3.3 runtime into /Developer/WebObjects53 and
maintain two copies of your ~/Library/wobuild.properties so
you can quickly switch WOLips development between the two
different runtime versions.
To use the script for the first time, ensure that you have
WebObjects 5.4 installed, and have run WOLips at least once
to create your ~/Library/wobuild.properties file. Also
ensure that the script has been set executable with chmod +x
woswitch"
I installed the Developer tools including WebObjects from
the Mac OS X 10.5 DVD. So I thing that WebObjects is 5.4.
Then I installed the All-In-One Turn-Key Installer (Mac OS X
10.5.2+ Only) provided in this page http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WOL/Installing+WOLips
I ran eclipse and opened the WOLips perspective.
Then I tried the woswitch script to change to WebObjects
5.3. It downloaded WebObjects5.3.3Update.dmg but after that
I get the following message:
Setting wolips properties for WebObjects 5.3
cp: /Users/dev3/Library/wobuild.properties53: No such file
or directory
cp: /Users/dev3/Library/Application Support/WOLips/
wolips.properties53: No such file or directory
Did I miss something.
If you are using the Nightly (or Stable) version of WOLips,
this method of switching versions is outdated.
I think that now you can put the versions wherever you want
and then adjust
/Users/chuck/Library/Application Support/WOLips/
wolips.properties
and restart Eclipse.
