* Linux (Red Hat Enterprise)
Development work must be done on Linux (Red Hat Enterprise). I have
read
something on WOCommunity.org that the initial installation needs are
Mac,
and after that the packages could be moved to Linux. Is the
installation
process difficult? Has anyone done DEVELOPMENT work on Linux using
WebObjects 5.4? -- I need to be very sure about this. Thanks!
Unfortunately, while deployment is allowed on any platform,
development on anything other than OS X is not allowed by the
WebObjects license. There is no technical limitation at all for this,
and in fact you can use the WOInstaller.jar to install completely
without OS X, but you WILL be in violation of the license terms. This
is a risk you will have to evaluate for yourself. I would also
recommend waiting until 5.4.2 is officially released (presumably with
the iPhone SDK, which is likely July 11th along with the iPhone)
rather than going with 5.4.0 or 5.4.1, if nothing other than the SQL
generation issues surrounding 5.4.<2.
* WebObjects Builder
Apple has deprecated most of the WebObjects development tools,
including
WebObjects Builder. So, what is the equivalent or replacement for
WebObjects
Builder, to build applications on LINUX?
Ignoring the license violation, the replacement is just like on every
other platform, which is to use Component Editor in Eclipse. It is
not a graphical editor like WOB, but it is very powerful and most
people I have talked to end up preferring it after switching.
