It took me a while, but I finally found what I was looking for.  
Basically, the default ant install will only work if you fiddle with  
the permissions since it tries to install directly into the /Library/ 
WebObjects/Application directory. You can do an ant build on the  
build.xml file in the project and that will install into a dist  
directory inside the project's directory in your workspace.

Is it just me, or is google becoming less and less helpful. Maybe my  
search mojo is weak, or maybe WebObjects is becoming more popular and  
there are just too many other entries crowding the results. :-)
