One thing worth noting for those of us who are using XCode for development, but have not upgraded to XCode from the old version of the developer tools. WebObjects (more specifically, EOModeler) appears to require certain frameworks that come with Project Builder. Because Project Builder has been replaced by XCode, Project Builder is not installed when you install XCode, so a "vanilla" installation of XCode on, say, a new machine that never had Project Builder installed will not work with EOModeler. You need to go back and grab the December 2002 version of Apple's developer tools from the ADC site and install that, since that includes Project Builder. In my case, in order to get WebObjects to work I first uninstalled XCode, downloaded and installed the December 2002 developer tools, then reinstalled XCode.

    Oh, and do note that to run WebObjects with Panther you need to upgrade WebObjects to at least at version 5.2.2 (and, according to Apple's Web Site, 5.2.3 is preferred). The evaluation version available at the ADC site is below 5.2.2, so once you install WebObjects you should probably run Software Update and immediately upgrade.

    In fact, I suspect that immediately upgrading WebObjects may also install the required Project Builder frameworks too, sidestepping the whole rigamarole described above of having to download an old version of the developer tools.

    The Apple web page for WebObjects 5.2.3 (who's URL is: <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107873>) contains the following information:

    "If you are creating a new Mac OS X WebObjects 5.2.3 development system, you should install the software in the following order:

    Install Mac OS X 10.3
    Update to Mac OS X 10.3.3
    Xcode Developer tools CD
    Xcode 1.1 Software Update
    WebObjects 5.2 Developer
    WebObjects 5.2.2 Developer
    WebObjects 5.2.3 Developer"

    Hope this is somewhat useful!
