sweet smell of success !!!!

Finally, after a lot of heart burn and lot of fixing issues, Mediclik ran successfully on my MAC.
here are the detailed steps :-)
1) create a war file using all the source files and jsp pages. make sure that library has all our libs too.
2) deploy the war using Tomcat. there is a lib file for jdt core inside TOMCAT/lib folder. copy that to Tomcat folder in the lib folder. change context.xml to mention reloadable = true. add all the lines for db connectivity.
3) make sure that mysqld is running. i couldn't connect to mysql initially so changed permission on the files and folders being used by mysql.
4) create databases using script
5) click on the link of deployed war file. voila !!!!!

it took me close to 7 days and innumerable hours. but it is there running now.

The next step on the agenda is to make games run using wine. right now if i try a graphics rich game using wine, nothing happens. on the net there is someone who claims that apple implementation of xcode is all broken. So that's the next step :-)

I also want to read all about AppleScript and about Symbian.

Plus one simple game development using J2ME. Target this weekend.
