Hi,
after some 3 years of absence from WO I have a customer asking me to
teach an old D2W application some new things and port it to the new
world. The app is currently maintained on WindowsXP with WO 5.2 and
the old Project Builder and tools. Some time ago I have done Eclipse/
WOlips things on my Mac, but no D2W. What are the currently
recommended versions of Eclipse and WOlips?
Hi Markus,
Welcome back (^_^) Latest Eclipse (3.6.x) and latest WOLips are best.
What is the best and easiest strategy to port such an old D2W to
Eclipse/WOlips? I am primarily looking for strategic advice. One
important thing is that the new app must be deployed into the
existing environment (I have no influence there and cannot change
anything). Thus there will still be WO 5.2 runtime installed and
deployment is through JavaWOMonitor. I cannot request installation
of new frameworks (e.g. Wonder). Any such addition must be self-
contained inside the .woa
I'm probably not qualified to answer this part since I wasn't really
around in the 5.2 days. You can deploy Wonder embedded and I know
trunk supports 5.3 and 5.4, but I'm not sure if 5.2 support is being
maintained. You might need to go with an older branch of Wonder. I
think you should still be able to deploy something with ERDirectToWeb
or ERNeutralLook.
Any good advice? Some (simple) steps I can follow? Step by step
outline of the procedures? My WO has become a bit rusty and my D2W
knowledge is like "oh, some sentences in the docs seem to be kind of
familiar".
Thanks a lot and happy New WOYear

For D2W instructional info, it's probably best to start on the wiki
and read Apple's D2W guide cover to cover. The stuff regarding project
builder, web assistant, rule caching, and the Apple looks are mostly
obsolete in the Apple docs, but there are still relevant concepts
covered in there.
