The decision to stop Obj-C EOF was made several years ago. In order to
improve WO adoption, the decision was made to make it fully Java. Thus
everything, including EOF, was ported to the Java world. At the time
Obj-C was not on any ones radar screen because OS X may not even have
been in public Beta.
If the decision was not to port EOF to Java, then there would be no
WAR, JAR deployments. There would be no Linux deployment, etc.

I just don't understand why they stopped obj-c eof. Was their licensing
to third parties (similar to DPS with Adobe) that made apple rewrite a
new API? It just doesn't make sense. It wasn't broken. It wasn't
inferior. It made database based apps click and drag f'ing easy. Why
waste engineering hours to remake something that is essentially
functionally the same as what already existed. Maybe core data is CF
based with toll-free bridged obj-c wrappers. I'm only speculating as
I'm not at WWDC.
