Hey thanks Pascal Yea I realize Xcode is not for Java, I'm not really a Java person at all. Doing this web-service with WO was my first real experience with Java (done C & Obj-C on Unix / Linux for many years though). I must say from what I've seen the the Wonder frameworks, they are really good, although some of the docs are a bit sketch ;o), I did however find the screencasts from your previous WOWODC very informative & helpful
PS thanks for the 'extra' tips, especially not copying in the frameworks yourself ;o) - I haven't used Maven (not sure what it is, but will have a look) Rich On 13/03/2012, at 11:03 PM, Pascal Robert wrote: > > Le 2012-03-13 à 02:05, Rich a écrit : > >> Thank you so much Chuck, it's now working ..... pheew >> Your insight and direction we're spot on. >> >> The problem was that early on when I setup the project I for some reason >> copied the ERExtension framework into the projects App folder to make sure >> it used that particular version, however as you suggested It wasn't building >> with the project (As I'd presumed it would) - I'm not very familiar with >> Eclipse and find it quite awkward to work with and work out what's going on >> - Kinda wish I could develop WebObjects from XCode ;o) > > Trust us, you don't want to develop WO apps in Xcode :-) Eclipse is not > perfect, but as a Java IDE, it's years ahead of Xcode. > > Tips: > > - Don't fix the xxxxClasspath.txt manually.
