Ok, so we have four pages in the wiki that tells how to configure Apache for development, and numerous pages on how to install WOLips and the core WO frameworks. We need one or two pages maximum! So we need to define what is the The One True Way to install and configure everything for development.
My personal preferences are:
* Install WO in /Developer/WebObjects with woinstall.jar
I think installing WO with the Apple dmg is unsafe, because it install stuff in /System, and Apple have been know to remove stuff they don't support or third-party tools from /System when new releases of OS X are made. Installing everything in /Developer/WebObjects or /Library/WebObjects is much safer.
* Install Eclipse/WOLips with Golipse
IMHO, that's the best way to install the tools, since they install all required plugins + the correct version of Eclipse. But since the default WOLips properties are set for /Library and /System, we would need to change them to /Developer/WebObjects when installing from Golipse.
* Install Wonder's wotaskd + the adaptor
Everyone should have a copy of Wonder's wotaskd for development. Even if someone is using DirectConnect for all development, having a copy of wotaskd is useful.
Opinions?
