Hi Colin,
Thanks for your input. I've never seen any thing
in WebObjects 5.x release notes about the fact that
the latest PB is not supported yet in WebObjects 5.x
for Windows 2000. I'm another unhappy Apple customer... :-(
As project builder and mangement tool, i will use IntelliJ Idea.
This integrated developement environment is great and support
almost all platforms: Windows 2000, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris
and almost all Unix flavors. It integrates CVS, Ant, Tomcat
and JUnit. It also upports remote debugging with a really good debugger.
There's a ton of other really interesting features: refactoring,
JSP support, EJB support, XML support, local version control,
JavaDoc, quick JavaDoc, open API, etc...)
And right now i'm able to launch any WebObjects application
without any problem (on Windows 2000 or any other platforms)
with IntelliJ Idea, if you give it the right JVM parameters
required by WebObjects (-DWOPlatform=Windows -DWORootDirectory
-DWOLocalRootDirectory ...).
Thanks again for your help,
Mario.

Hi Mario,
WebObjects 5.2 on Windows runs an older version of ProjectBuilder. It's
incompatible with the new Project Builder that runs on OS X. There are
no conversion tools to migrate a project from OS X to Windows.
The solution most people have come up with for cross-platform
development on Windows and Mac OS X using WebObjects is to switch to an
Ant-based solution, removing both versions of Project Builder from the
mix altogether. Overall, there have been very positive comments from
people who have made this switch.
Have a look at WOLips/WOProject, which uses Eclipse and Ant for
developing and building your applications. For more information, check
out http://www.objectstyle.org/woproject/index.html.
It's not an ideal situation, and I think a lot of people are unhappy
with Apple for having not provided a cross-platform development
strategy for WebObjects in Java. Apparently it's something they might
actually be concerned about, but in the meantime Eclipse/WOLips works
well.
Good luck,
Colin
