Re: Xcode 2.4 Deprecation Announcements

How do you recommend we edit our EOModels from now on? Or should we use Cayenne?

With Kind Regards,

NOTE: As of the release of Xcode 2.4, the Cocoa Java bridge has been
deprecated. This means that, while still supported with Xcode 2.4,
future releases of Xcode may not support the bridge or other
dependent features. Due to this, the following additional WebObjects
developer applications are also being deprecated:
EOModeler
EOModeler Plugin
WebObjects Builder
WebServices Assistant
RuleEditor
WOALauncher

This also means that the Xcode Java bridge templates have been
deprecated, and should not be used for new Java bridge-based
development.

Does this means that there may be NEW Java bridged-based development?
Safely enough to survive some years?

No. It means that as of Xcode 3.0 the java bridge may not be present at all. You should cease and desist using the java bridge. It is old and sick. It will be dead and buried soon.

We need something to replace these tools... what do you suggest?

Get busy? :-)

Deprecation does not mean that support is immediately ending for
these tools. Fully supported versions of these tools shipped in
August with the new version of Xcode 2.4 and Apple will continue to
support them well into the future. Any code built using these
deprecated tools will continue to run on Leopard so your applications
will not break. We are giving this notice so that developers will
have ample time to evaluate and implement alternatives.

What do you propose as a future alternatives?
In particular, what do you suggest for the future of Cocoa EO Apps?

Think of the Sex Pistols song "No Future".

May be, Bindings+Core Data+ODBC?
Web Services (well supported inside WO and Cocoa)?

That is probably your best bet.

- Opening and making public all standards and formats that WO depends
upon

... but not WO it self !?

That is just not going to happen.
