• Build and launch your application.
This chapter discusses the main features of Project Builder that you use
when developing WebObjects applications. For more information on
Project Builder’s other features, refer to its on-line help.
WebObjects Builder is described in the chapters “Editing With
WebObjects Builder” and “Working With Dynamic Elements”.
This document refers to example projects located in the
<DocumentRoot>/
WebObjects/Examples/ directory.

directory. On Mach systems, this directory is under the root directory / .

variable defined when you installed WebObjects (
C:\NeXT by default).
On Windows NT, you can launch Project Builder from the
WebObjects program group in the Start menu.
