Sorry Tony, I should have skimmed that page before recommending it. That step
should not be required, because, as you discovered, the WebObjects JARs are
available at maven.wocommunity.org.

Note also that if you want to use Project Wonder, you can start from the
erxapplication-archetype which should also be visible to you.

You're absolutely right here. I'm afraid that the issue is simply that
WebObjects (and to a large extent Project Wonder as well) is abandonware, and
the will to keep this information up to date just doesn't exist.
