Is it the intention of Apple that eclipse will be the only viable
platform for WO development?
No, I dont think that is the intention. Also, Mike Schrag's entity
modeller is currently an eclipse plugin but he said that it wouldnt be
hard to make it run standalone.
I was not aware that Xcode ever was a viable platform for WO
development. Grin.
I expect that Xcode will always be able to build WO apps. But once the
other tools go away, you would need to use Eclipse and WOLips to edit
models, components, etc. Well, that or emacs.
That might have been a joke, but using a decent text editor to manage
model files is a lot easier than you may think.
It's also very easy to write scripts using something like perl, to
create, update or copy these files or do things like list relationships,
attributes, whatever you like. You can do a tonne of things with this
approach, for example, list all attributes that have a varchar2 STATUS
attribute with length = 1, across all models in an app and all its
frameworks.
It even easier now than it used to be because the eomodel bundle specs
are available. Not using a GUI to build eomodels is actually quite
liberating. As is command line build, package, bundle, deploy. For
example, I use a single command to clean, build, package, scp, and
deploy to a local dev server, its a beautiful thing.. :)
YMMV.
