Hi Pierre,
thank you for your reply.

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.
Ok, I havn't recognized the "Apache License" coming with the
installation should apply to WebObjects as there isn't the faintest
mentioning of "WebObjects" neither in text nor name of the file. Or is
there another license not coming with the WOInstaller on Windows to
which you refer?
I searched at the Apple-WebObjects website. There it is stated that the
XCode licence include the WebObjects license. And there are in deed
sections about WebObjects (2A, D), so I assumed the whole license
conditions has to be applied.
Is this the "official" statement? Or could you provide me with an
official Apple email contact to ask for? My boss needs a valid statement
or we cannot update to 5.4.
If you have a MacBook why not develop under MacOSX?
There are several reasons: first of all, I am used to Windows ;-)
Our customers deploy on Linux or Windows, sorry no Mac server used. With
my colleague working on Mac and myself on Windows we match most of the
OS related problems like pathnames and encodings.

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?
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:
<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
