Thanks for this information. Now the installer was not meant to install on OS X. I can modify it to support Snow Leopard, but it doesn't support it right now. It actively refuses to install on OS X 10.4 and 10.5 as WebObjects can be installed with XCode on those versions of OS X.

Hi Don,

This is an very nice installer... and cross-platform too! Nice experience for newbies.... and busy oldies ;-)

I tested the standard install options on a virgin Snow Leopard environment. Only thing I changed from default was the install location from /Applications/WebObjectsDev to /Developer/WebObjectsDev

Cosmetic: Install wizard says "WebObjects 5.3.4/5.4.3" - should that be "WebObjects 5.3.3/5.4.3"
        Ref: 
http://lists.apple.com/archives/Webobjects-dev/2007/Dec/msg00527.html

Cosmetic: Installer says it will install Eclipse version is 3.3.2 - It installs 3.4.2 in reality

Cosmetic: Last screen instructions differ from the ones given below (start/close and restart Eclipse)

Major: Even though the installer indicating it was downloading and install the WO frameworks, I cann find them in the usual (/Library/ Frameworks) or any other location on the HD .... where are they installed Don? Also creating a new WebObjects app fails due to missing WO frameworks.

Also, it does not create a default ~/Application Support/WOLips/ wolips.properties, however wolips itself creates the default properties later.

If you want to try and get this working for OS X Snow Leopard Don, I will be happy to test it and if I get it working, I will update wiki instructions for its usage too.

Regards and thanks, Kieran

Hello;

A new Installer has been released to install webobjects development environment on Linux and Windows. This installer may work on OS X 10.6 but will not work on 10.4 and 10.3.

Currently you can get the installer at http://web.me.com/pccdonl/wo.jar

Ensure you have Java 1.5 JDK installed, you will need it to run the installer.

After you have downloaded the wo.jar file, open a command window. Change your directory to the one you downloaded the file to. Type in java -jar wo.jar

Follow the instructions in the installer. After the installation has completed, start eclipse. Then exit eclipse, and open it again. This initializes the WOLips plugins. After reopening Eclipse you select the WOLips perspective and you can create your first webobjects project.

Please feel free to test the installer and let me know which operating systems it functions correctly on.

Thanks

Don
