Folks,
Sorry for cross-posting, and very sorry if this leads to yet another
flame war - this is not my intention.
Some facts:
- It seams that Apple will not keep their promise to support Objective-C
version of EOF
- In our company we have tones of ObjC EOF based sources that we depend
on in order to finish our products on time.
- We are not going to use Java EOF or even a bridge.
- We are using FrontBase only.
- We need object persistency framework for almost every serious
application or project.
In order to finish the products we are working on, we see the following
options:
1. Try to hack into Apple's CVS and get the EOF sources;
2. Write our own replacement;
3. Buy a replacement from someone else;
4. Develop completely new version of EOF that fixes all long standing
issues and adds some essential goodies.
5. Apple (or third party) announces new equivalent product (within 4
months)
The first four options might have some legal consequences. But after
Apple decided not to keep their promise and left us behind with huge (at
least for us) worthless investments, I do not feel very bad about it.
After months long discussions with my partners & friends we think that
option #4 is probably the best. But before jumping on it, I would
appreciate your comments about this matter.
TIA
