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.
Yes I also like that feature very much, and this plug-in seems to
work quite nicely for Core Data. I am looking forward to the
completion of this tool.
Another thing I found very useful, when using this tool for Core
Data, is it's ability to copy an entire diagram from one model file
to another. I was able to select all the entities in the diagram
view and option-drag them to an empty mode file and it recreated all
the entities with proper relationships and properties. EOModeler
can't do that. Unfortunately I don't believe the new EOModel plug-in
will do this properly either....yet <fingers crossed>.

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

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.
