Hi Susanne,The WebObjects license is very liberal and the intent is that you can pretty much install it anywhere provided that you don't build a competing dev environment with it.
If you have a MacBook why not develop under MacOSX? Pierre -- Pierre Frisch [email protected] On Jul 29, 2009, at 2:49, Susanne Schneider wrote:
Hi Chuck,first thank you very much for your patience with such a latecomer like me!Chuck Hill schrieb:On Jul 28, 2009, at 8:16 AM, Susanne Schneider wrote:Yes, you need to update the build files. The easiest is to create a new project and move the build.xml file over. This will NOT be compatible with older versions of WOLips (pre-New Hotness). Look in the woapplication task for a section like:Hello everybody,today I tempted fate and installed WO 5.4 on an Windows system (based on an MacBook) for development parallel to an existing 5.2 installation.After trying the tutorial for parallel handling from the wiki without any success I simply copied the new Framework directories into the old location. Not very elegant but seems to work: I could compile in Eclipse (3.5, WOLips 3.4.5872).But I did not succeed in making an ant build. I always get the message "There is not root named "C:/Apple" in [[Root: name= Project...." when coming to the compile target. Alas I haven't the faintest idea what is meant by that. Could somebody help me, please?? Is the problem related to the new framework/classpath handling I hadn't understand either?<frameworks root="C:/Apple" ... It should be more like <frameworks root="System" embed="${your.property.here}" eclipse="true" />OK, for starting from scratch and learning I make a fresh new TestApp and tried to build that. At first try the ant build needs a new "wolips.properties" which I created. This took me one step further but now the build fails with the message "Could not find wobuild.properties. Run the buildfile: woproperties.xml first".But I have the normal old-fashioned wobuild.properties in the standard location. And I could not find any "woproperties.xml" file. Do I have to place the wobuild.properties in a special location or to configure it somewhere in Eclipse?At the moment I found it very confusing: I found 3 locations where the installation of framework path are defined:- classpath-variables (Eclipse during startup from NEXT_ROOT?) - wobuild.properties - wolips.properties and even there are multiple properties to the same path in one file.By the way, the licence terms of the 5.4 version leave some points unclear, especially section 4 about termination. I tried to get information from Apple, but at least at the german telephone sites there was no much help. Does anybody knows an email contact at apple for official information ("[email protected]" did come back)?I don't have the license handy. Do you have a link or can you paste in that section?The legals are here: http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/xcode.pdf The section I found unclear is:"4. Termination. ... In addition, Apple reserves the right to terminate this Licence if a new version of Apple's operating system software or the Developer Software is released wich is incompatible with this version of the Developer Software. Upon the termination of this Licence, you shall cease all use of the Developer Software and destroy all copies, full or partial, of the Developer Software."What is meant by "incompatible"? A update from 5.4.3 to 5.4.4 or to 6.0? Does this imply deployed applications too? There is no mentioning how do you get notice of a termination at all. And as I would interpret this section this would even apply if you do not upate your development system.This is not a very trustable ground for developing to-be-sold software upon. I rather would like to pay for software I am free to use as long as I like (and on any platform I like)!Regards, Susanne -- Susanne Schneider Coordinator secuTrial Development iAS interActive Systems GmbH Dieffenbachstraße 33 c, D-10967 Berlin fon +49(0)30 22 50 50 - 498 fax +49(0)30 22 50 50 - 451 mail [email protected] web http://www.interActive-Systems.de ---------------------------------------------------- Geschäftsführer: Dr. Marko Reschke, Thomas Fritzsche Sitz der Gesellschaft: Berlin Amtsgericht Berlin Charlottenburg, HRB 106103B ---------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
