Hello. I am new to WebObjects and I would like to know what the current preferred way to develop WebObjects Applications on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.4).

Eclipse and WOLips.

I tried Eclipse but Direct to Web Applications don't work properly. I get this warning when attempting to run:

***** Warning: The DirectToWeb WebAssistant will not be able to modify your DirectToWeb resources. You must have your application project opened in Project Builder to save changes using the WebAssistant.

I have no idea about the WebAssistant, but as this thing is creating about the crappiest rules you can get, I won't use it anyways.

Personally, I think, you should know WAY more to get started with D2W, but here opinions vary. WebObjects has some very important concepts you need to know to get something useful out of D2W - so I'd start with a standard WO application (WebObjects Application project in Eclipse) and learn the basics first.

Then, when you at least know how to use the tools, what the tool gives you, how to model an EOModel, how to use EOF and so on, you can start again with D2W.

As I said: there are people who disagree - but from my point of view, D2W is the combination of all WO concepts together in a very extreme way. As long as you don't even have looked at how it works below that, you will never be able to get it doing what you want it to do.
