Hi,

after some 3 years of absence from WO I have a customer asking me to teach an old D2W application some new things and port it to the new world. The app is currently maintained on WindowsXP with WO 5.2 and the old Project Builder and tools. Some time ago I have done Eclipse/ WOlips things on my Mac, but no D2W. What are the currently recommended versions of Eclipse and WOlips?

Hi Markus,

Welcome back (^_^) Latest Eclipse (3.6.x) and latest WOLips are best.

What is the best and easiest strategy to port such an old D2W to Eclipse/WOlips? I am primarily looking for strategic advice. One important thing is that the new app must be deployed into the existing environment (I have no influence there and cannot change anything). Thus there will still be WO 5.2 runtime installed and deployment is through JavaWOMonitor. I cannot request installation of new frameworks (e.g. Wonder). Any such addition must be self- contained inside the .woa

I'm probably not qualified to answer this part since I wasn't really around in the 5.2 days. You can deploy Wonder embedded and I know trunk supports 5.3 and 5.4, but I'm not sure if 5.2 support is being maintained. You might need to go with an older branch of Wonder. I think you should still be able to deploy something with ERDirectToWeb or ERNeutralLook.


Any good advice? Some (simple) steps I can follow? Step by step outline of the procedures? My WO has become a bit rusty and my D2W knowledge is like "oh, some sentences in the docs seem to be kind of familiar".

Thanks a lot and happy New WOYear

For D2W instructional info, it's probably best to start on the wiki and read Apple's D2W guide cover to cover. The stuff regarding project builder, web assistant, rule caching, and the Apple looks are mostly obsolete in the Apple docs, but there are still relevant concepts covered in there.
