For development, just install once as a classpath placeholder and then
link the workspace project directly by editing the buildpath and push
the order of the workspace dev version higher that the Framework
library in Build Path Order.
For ant deployment builds where you are taking the "easy" embed = true
strategy, you can just add some other ant tasks to your application
build.xml to install dependent frameworks from the workspace so that
the workspace version are really embedded rather than an old out of
date /Library/Frameworks one.
For example, this is a custom task in one of my apps build.xml:
<!-- Install my own dependent frameworks in final local install
location before embedding -->
<target name="installMyFrameworks">
<ant dir="../WKDemography" target="install" inheritall="false"
/>
<ant dir="../WKEmailData" target="install" inheritall="false" />
<ant dir="../WKEOFExtensions" target="install" inheritall="false"
/>
<ant dir="../WKFoundation" target="install" inheritall="false"
/>
<ant dir="../WKPrototypes" target="install" inheritall="false"
/>
<ant dir="../WKRemoteClient" target="install" inheritall="false"
/>
<ant dir="../WKRemoteMailingServices" target="install"
inheritall="false" />
<ant dir="../WKReports" target="install" inheritall="false" />
<ant dir="../WKWebObjects" target="install" inheritall="false"
/>
</target>
And simply add adependency to the build task shown below in full (note
embed = true)
<!-- woproject tasks -->
<target name="build.woapp" depends="installMyFrameworks">
<taskdef name="woapplication"
classname="org.objectstyle.woproject.ant.WOApplication">
</taskdef>
<!-- add webXML="true" to generate a web.xml file -->
<woapplication name="${build.app.name}" stdFrameworks="false"
destDir="${dest.dir}"
customInfoPListContent="$
{customInfoPListContent}"
principalClass="$
{principalClass}"
webXML="${webXML}"
webXML_CustomContent="$

wsDestDir="${wsdest.dir}"

<classes dir="${classes.dir}">

An email from earlier today pushed me to split my model out into its
own framework. I needed to do this anyway since I'm adding another
application that uses the same model.
My question is: Is there a way to set up dependencies in Eclipse so
that building my application automatically builds the framework and
installs it?
Does my framework need to be installed in /Library/Frameworks for my
application to see it? Or is there a better place to build it and
reference to it from my application?
Corollary: Is any way to get the "Install" menu item on my framework
to appear in the toolbar?
