I'm pretty sure that they have completely disabled the feature in
Xcode 2.2.1. I think pretty much everyone who has tried using this
tool would agree that it is far from ready to use at all.
I would highly recommend sticking with the older EOModeler. That
is if you want a modeling tool that actually works. :-)
I just go into the "File Types" Xcode preferences and tell Xcode to
use EOModeler instead of the EOModel plug-in.
I hope they fix the plug-in in the next version of Xcode and make
it feature complete (compared to EOModeler), but it just isn't
there yet.
Also, you may notice that there seems to be no box for entering the
field width for string attributes using the plug-in.
Hi Robert
thanks for taking the time to spell this out for me. It pretty much
confirms my experience. I've gone back to using the real EOModeler to
generate SQL though I hadn't thought of changing the File Types
preference. I do like the schema diagram drawing feature in the
embedded EModeler.
I knew there were some problems when XCode 2.1 (or 2.0) came out, but
it's now eight months since we saw this at WWDC and I really thought
they might have made it work by now. It's tragic when the shipping
version of Xcode/WebObjects is so clearly broken and stays that way
for so long.
