Get over it :P

Nothing for me to get over. As I said, I'm happy using the Objective-C API's in Java.


Moving to Java with WO 5 was a PITA, so we're happy that the API's for most classes remained unchanged.
I have found the Java API's to be inelegant compared to those designed by NeXT, so I'm not unhappy avoiding native Java classes.

Stick with Objective-C then:

No need for WO (see above). I can still get my Objective-C fix building Cocoa desktop apps.


Being forced to use the Java date quagmire is more than enough for me :-)

The choice is yours:

http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/

Thanks!

I understand why those coming from a Java background would be unhappy. I'm just offering a different perspective.

Sounds like apologies :P

Why should I apologize? I think Apple made the right decision.

I was unhappy moving from Objective-C to Java, but I made the necessary adjustments to continue using WO without continuing to whine about the loss of Objective-C in WO. So those who are unhappy using the Foundation classes can do the same while lobbying Apple to use native Java classes wherever possible (i.e., file an enhancement request rather than whining in this forum which accomplishes nothing).

But all in all, you are right: if you don't have any legacy system to deal with, don't bother with WebObjects in the first place.

Maybe one day in the future you won't have legacy systems to deal with so you can free yourself of the WO burden :-) Or do you enjoy kibitzing in this forum just too much to give it up? :-)


Aloha,
Art
