It gets worse...
The same installer worked mid December. That's when I started a new class and
had the students install the development environment.
Today I started with a new group of students (20 people start to learn WO!!!!)
and all of a sudden the installer crashed everywhere. It crashed on Windows and
it crashed on OSX, it crashed independently of the Java version. It did not
crash however when downloading WO 5.3.3!!! I had to improvise and fortunately
time was running out, so I could postpone installation to next week. But you
can imagine I was starting to fret in front of a class. "Hey folks, look how
great our tools are...."
Anyway checking my copy of WonderSource I found the following:
In
WonderSource/Utilities/WOInstall/Sources/er/woinstaller/WebObjectsInstaller.javaWebObjectsInstaller.java
there is that line
WO543_URI = new
URI("http://supportdownload.apple.com/download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/Mac_OS_X/downloads/061-4634.20080915.3ijd0/WebObjects543.dmg";);
copy/paste the link into Safari and it happily downloads WebObjects543.dmg
So the build on wocommunity.org must somehow have changed or the wonder source
has been adapted to the new download location but the installer was not updated
or whatever.
Installation is a mess anyway. I do have ideas how this can be solved and will
try to discuss things at WOWODC.
BTW how would I build the installer from the source? ant -projecthelp does not
give a clue. Well, building target deployment.tools was the obvious one but it
did not build the installer.
