Here is the problem, how do you get a Mac Project Builder File to work on
the PC? Especially since OS X makes bundles (ie folders) look like files.
We moved it over and tried to open then project file inside the OS X project
file (this is a folder in reality) and it would not open. Can we do this?
You don't. Mac OS X uses "Project Builder X" whereas Windows uses a
much older version of Project Builder now called ProjectBuilderWO.
You can import ProjectBuilderWO projects into Project Builder X, but
you can't go the other direction.
If it is too much of a pain we will get him a Mac for development as we want
to be able to check into CVS and if he has to mod a lot it will be a pain to
unmod it for checkin.
The WebObjects developer tools work so much better on Mac OS X and
software developers' time is so valuable that it doesn't make sense
to use Windows. (Not only that, but the end-user environment is much
more productive too. I'm sure you knew that already, though, since
you use it for development.) While the bigger, faster, and more
tricked out the machine the better, even a low-end iBook with 512+MB
of memory should be an acceptable development platform these days.
You *can* use ant to build WebObjects projects; various Open Source
projects like WOLips and WONDER are using it. However, the Mac OS X
and WebObjects developer tools don't support this natively.
