This topic regarding disclosure has been beaten to death over
the years. Apple's corporate policy is keep their intended
products secret. They reveals only as much as is necessary at
WWDC to allow developers to revise their products as necessary to
support new features.
There will never be a "WebObjects roadmap" -- that's the way
it is, and we have to live with it.
WebObjects will never be open source -- that's the way it is,
and we have to live with it.
WebObjects is alive and well in Leopard, and as in any healthy
software, things atrophy and die, and are replaced. We're not at
liberty to speak of those details so we asked for a statement to
be shared with those who could not attend, and we have been told
that will be done.
Maybe the issue for many of us is the uncertainty caused by our
perception of conflicting signs from Apple. On one hand we see WO
tools (EOModeler, WOBuilder, etc.) are being deprecated, the very
base essential tools for the starting WO developers, and on the
other hand, we (of us not at WWDC) hear from some of you NDA'd
folks that there are great things to come, although so far in the
previous years we have seen only little to rejoice about.
That's my 2 cents.
