The company I work for is considering using WebObjects for a project.
(Or, more specifically, they are looking to buy a software tool that is
written in WebObjects.) Naturally, since our shop is new to Java
(having only recently made the switch from Visual Basic and ASP to Java
and JSP), there are a lot of managers nervous about it. They asked me
to look into WebObjects. I think it's an exciting platform, and from
the little I've learned about WOProject, it looks to be a fantastic
complement to it. The Windows IDE for WebObjects seems to be a couple
of versions behind the Mac IDE, so I can eaily see myself using WOLips
instead of the WebObjects Windows IDE.
But that's beside the point.
My manager was recently told that Apple will discontinue support for the
Windows version of the WebObjects development platform and instead
"support Open Source." (If this is merely FUD, please correct me.)
Since the only platform restriction on WOLips is the use of WOBuilder
and EOModeler, if Apple were to discontinue development on the Windows
versions of these tools, how would that impact WOProject? Would we
still be able to build WebObjects applications with WOProject?
