Hi all,
Out of curiosity, I tried the installer Don mentioned on Snow Leopard,
and it appears to be broken. It downloads Eclipse (3.3.2) but fails
on the WOLips download with:
java.io.FileNotFoundException:
http://webobjects.mdimension.com/wolips/wolips-HEAD-latest.tar.gz
It works great up until that point :)

Hello;
I have an installer that combines everything in one installer. It
has been tested on windows, redhat linux, suse linux, ubuntu linux,
and various other OSs. Since there was already an installer for OS
X I didnt include OS X support. It should work but I have never
tried it.
The installer installs WOLips, Wonder, WebObjects, and a few other
things (like a fix to allow auto open in browser on windows and unix
platforms. The installer performs all of the configuration. It
probably does need to be updated to support newer versions of
Eclipse, I believe it installs 3.4 but I wont swear to that. Been
awhile since I have had to modify it.
It is available at http://web.me.com/pccdonl/wo.jar. To run the
installer you need to have java installed on your machine and type
in java -jar wo.jar. Then follow the instructions, you should have
a fully operational installation after it completes.
What the installer does is download all the separate pieces from all
the different locations (Apple, Wonder, WOLips, Eclipse, etc) and
installs them for you in a single installer.

I was setting up a new SL dev environment, and just to see what the
initial installation and setup procedure would be like for a
complete newbie on SL, I looked on the wiki for instructions for
the simplest possible path to new installation on a virgin Snow
Leopard.
It seems that really, a newbie would probably be confused and would
probably struggle. :-(
After installing WebObjects 5.4.3 using Apple's dmg installer and
then installing the "All In One" Eclipse/WOLips installer from
Jeremy's .mac page (since the sisu download was slow as molasses
with an est time of 1 day+!), I then hit a roadblock, getting an
error when launching Eclipse after running Jeremy's installer.
" An Error has occurred"
" See the log file ~/.eclipse/...../blahblah.log"
That error log file is full of "missing required bundle" messages.
Anyway, just FYI, I don't have time for troubleshooting this
now .... I am doing my usual 3.4.2 download and install/setup the
manual way.
Since Jeremy is not working in WO anymore and this is AIO (All In
One) installer is clearly broken for install on a virgin OS X Snow
Leopard box, we might want to just discontinue the all-in-one
installer and just go write a concise "WebObjects Developer Quick
Start Guide" for newbies .......so I started a wiki page on this
and will work on completing it as I get time. Any thoughts on that?
Should I wipe all references on the wiki to the AIO?
If we are ever going to get new devs to come to WebObjects, we need
to have a working quick start. Any dev worth his salt should be
comfortable on the command line, so maybe a bash install script
that downloads and installs various bits and configures everything
might be the better route. Any opinions on that?
BTW, I went to use the WOInstaller.jar initially and thinking that
a newbie would want standard install paths, I set the
WOInstaller.jar target as "/", but got an error saying System
directory already exists. Should the WOInstaller.jar's CPIO class
be changed to just overwrite existing files? Does that "overlay"
directory paths (aka merge eith existing files if named
differently, or does it realyl "replace" existing directories (ie.,
wiping them out)?
Anyway, this is just some meandering thoughts / discussion before I
leave off the "How would a newbie WO dev fare on getting started"
for now and go do some work.
Regards, Kieran
