Hi All,

Does anyone have experience converting WebObject applications from Xcode to Eclipse, or any caveats in making this conversion?

Yes. The only caveat I can think of is that you will kick yourself for not having done it sooner. :-P


I have done a few conversions with varying degrees of success. The way I look at this is basically this involves copying the source files(.wo, .api, .java, and .eomodeld) in Xcode to an Eclipse project structure, then compile/run, and the app should just run.

Create an Eclipse project, copy in the source, adjust the contents of build.xml, woproject/* and it should just run.


However I am finding that sometimes the model file is not recognized (in which case it reports > An 'object store' for the entity "User" could not be found. Verify that the entity is defined in an EOModel, and that the model is installed properly.). Also Eclipse will sometimes report an error > 'my_project_name.framework' not found.

Sounds like a refresh issue with the new Eclipse project. Try restarting Eclipse after copying in the resources.


Am I misunderstanding something here about this conversion process? Or is there any documentation pertaining to importing/converting Xcode apps to Eclipse?

Beyond the Tutorials you mean?
