Installed Developer Documentation

When you install the WebObjects Developer package on your computer, the
Installer puts developer documentation into the following locations:

Frameworks.

Information inextricably associated with a framework is usually

installed in a localized subdirectory of the framework. This method of
packaging ensures that the documentation moves with the framework when it
is moved (or is copied) to another location. It also makes it possible to have
localized versions of the documentation (although development and
deployment tools are localized for English only).

Development tools.

Help information for applications such as Project Builder

and Interface Builder is installed with the application. When users request it
from the Help menu, the application launches Help Viewer to display it.

Example code.

A variety of sample programs are installed in

/Developer/

Examples/JavaWebObjects

(

$NEXT_ROOT/Developer/Examples/JavaWebObjects

on

Windows 2000) showing you how to perform common tasks using WebObjects.

All information that is not specific to frameworks or development applications
is installed in

/Developer/Documentation/WebObjects

(

$NEXT_ROOT/

Documentation/Developer

on Windows 2000). On Mac OS X, the Installer also

creates symbolic links to the framework documentation in this location.

To access the developer documentation on Mac OS X, you open the

WOHomePage.html

file in your Web browser. This file is located in the

/Developer/Documentation/

WebObjects

directory.

To access the developer documentation on Windows 2000, you use the
WOInfoCenter application. To access the WOInfoCenter, go to the Start menu and
select Program > WebObjects > WOInfoCenter.
