In our opinion: 

Why does Apple not simply remove the license mechanism and provide us a patch. It would only take 30 minutes at the most!

1. Download Xcode 2.1 (not 2.2) from <http://connect.apple.com/> to an OS X

3. Use Pacifist to open Packages/WebObjectsRuntime.pkg and extract
"License.key".  Use this all-platform key with 5.3.1.

For those of you who would rather not use Pacifist, a shareware app, you should be able to extract License.key using pax:

pax -zf path/to/Packages/WebObjectsRuntime.pkg/Contents/Archive.pax.gz | grep 'License.key'

should return the License.key path in the pax archive (assume that it's ./System/Library/Frameworks/JavaWebObjects.framework/Resources/License.key).

Then use this path to extract License.key:

pax -zrnf path/to/Packages/WebObjectsRuntime.pkg/Contents/Archive.pax.gz ./System/Library/Frameworks/JavaWebObjects.framework/Resources/License.key

which should be System/Library/Frameworks/JavaWebObjects.framework/Resources/License.key relative to the current directory.

But I haven't actually tried this, so you may want to wade through the pax man page first or pay for Pacifist after looking at the pax man page :-)

Aloha,
Art
