I see your point.
<mini-rant>If it doesn't work like in deployment like it does in
Eclipse it's either a failure of the build system which (should be

(should be replaced|is being replaced).
Exactly my point. It wasn't too hard to bump into this as soon as I
started fiddling with the build process. It is fairly easy to kick
the two building systems out of sync.
There's no reason why all the features that Eclipse provides in
terms of dependencies and classpath ordering should not be fully
supported during build and deployment.
:D Sure there is. WO doing it's own thing. If it wasn't, WOProject
would not be necessary.
Anjo and I have talked about this several times that the framework
Info.plist needs to support the definition of framework
dependencies and/or its internal jar ordering, which should be
interpreted by a replacement WOBootstrap to dynamically build what
is currently the MacOSClassPath.txt file, which I personally
despise. In general, the WO build process and deployment process is
way too complicated and nasty, and it would be nice to have the
tools make this suck less.
Well, I like the WOProject ant stuff (however I at times passionately
hate ant). If one counts the fact that it is imitating a very
different build structure then java normally does. And I like the
Eclipse goodness too, I guess :) It all seems, as well as one could
expect (and when not the community is great about helping out), it
would just be nice to be able to define a launch config that does the
isolated end woa launch.
Also, please don't think that I am not appreciative of WOLips. It
rocks. If I just think back of Xcode, well, I feel like I am in WO
development heaven.
F
then again, I've been slamming my head for the last week against a
build process. I have not done any relevant work on the apps
themselves. That is just bad productivity, regardless of how
intriguing it might have been :)
