Alright, so I am not an 'old school' WO dev. I have used it for
a few years now for several projects and overall I really like
the platform. That said, I am so frustrated by the tools right
now, I am about to throw the whole platform in the trash bin.
Up until about 3 weeks ago, I was managing, though not terribly
thrilled with the WOLips/Eclipse toolchain. Then my old laptop
lost a hard disk. So I replaced it with a new MacBook Pro (great
machine btw). Installed Xcode and WO. Downloaded Eclipse, ran
WOLips install (both the all in one and the get updates route),
opened current projects, none of them will build. None of the WO
Library jar's and frameworks can be found.
You could have asked then. This bug is well known and easy to
address. Using a more current (e.g. Nightly) build of WOLips
should also address this.
2 nights of Googling and poking and prodding, I finally have the
projects building (yay!), but now, no debugging. It just doesn't
work. It pretends it is going to work, but no, it just sits
there waiting and then eventually comes back with: "Exception in
thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/webobjects/
eocontrol/EOEvent".
You don't say what you did to fix this. Perhaps you made a small
problem worse?
I used a nightly build, and then manually added the WebObjects
Library References to the project that were no longer there.
The file that Joe Little sent is what was missing.
Based upon my Googling, I had concluded the same thing. That's why I
went to the nightly. It did build that file, and that at least
allowed the References dialog to find the jar's in the WO Library. At
that point, I can compile, and get a jar. I can move that Jar to a WO
server, and it works.
I cannot however debug locally.
