I am not sure, of course, but what I think is that Core Data will

just a mater of time to Core Data to support RDB via some kind of

I was thinking in those lines as well as I was reading CoreData info
(as it clearly states that additional adapters will become available),
but at that point there was NO indication of CoreData getting into web
data distribution. So, even if it does, I think it will be a painful
experience at the least during the first period.
So, EOF will be part of Cocoa, but with other name and in Objective-C.
If you noticed, Cocoa+Bindings works like EOInterface, Core Data like
EOControl (+ EOModel and 3 adaptors) and Xcode 2 now incorporates a
kind of EOModeler; we only need now to complete the EOAccess layer...
if they have two fingers on top of their eyes, they should be working
on that by now.
Yup, that just could be the case. I was also coming up with the idea
that just maybe CoreData is a start of integrating (translating) the
EOF into the system itself (because of all the similarities). But that
is probably far fetched.
If your CEO app is well designed (uses MVC correctly) it should be
VERY ease to incorporate such technology by the time it comes out.
What app? :)
One of our problems is that we need to have a multi-platform app, which
could also have an OSX interface (CEO). So, CoreData is all good and
nice, but even if it goes into distributing data online (10.5 ???), it
would still mean that we (well, me actually) would have to write the
same app in two APIs. In two programing languages. And to be honest, it
was only a year ago that I first picked up Ivor Horton's Beginning C
and learned about brackets and memory addresses.
With this approach in door, I do not think that Apple will officially
support CEO... they had not since, in WO 5.0 many years ago, they
decided to go "pure Java"; it is hard to think that they will change
this policy unless in the very short, or the very long, term. Any how,
supported or not, it is still the best approach these days to build
Client/Server apps.
On the other hand, if they plan to keep around WO on OSX ---which I
think they do--- they need to keep the Java Bridge in order to connect
EOModeler with the DB; so, I do not see any reason to disappear CEO.
Yeah... Well, I suppose it is still an option then.

All I see is more work there, and things getting complicated... :) But
at least I see a bit more.
