I doubt that there is any point to reverse engineering it now. It
looks like EOModeler will be integrated into Xcode in the next
release (or two) and there will no longer be any need for a back
channel. I don't know if WOBuilder will go the same way, but I would
expect so.
My current personal goal is co-existence. Use Xcode for tools
support and things that it does best. Use Eclipse for the Java parts
that it does best. I have several projects setup like this now.
While it is a bit of a nuisance to get the Java files for components
into the right place on the file system, this is not a task you do
all that often. Eclipse determines the project contents based on
what is in the file system so it works as long as new files are added
via Xcode.
I don't expect that Xcode will ever be able to touch the Java
functionality of Eclipse, IntelliJ, NetBeans, etc. I don't really
think it is worth Apple's time to do so. Let them concentrate their
expertise on the tools they do well.

Seriously, for all the good natured ribbing that goes back and

a better platform for pure Java development. It is, after all,
created in Java expressly for Java development. But WebObjects is
not pure Java development. It includes WOComponents and EOModels.
I use Eclipse at work (non-WO) and I like it a lot. WOLips always
had that "yeah, you can do everything in it except for the bit
about using ProjectBuilder to do XYZ because it WOBuilder and
EOModeller use a backchannel to update ZYX files." So I use Xcode
for WO.
Has that backchannel been reversed engineered yet?
