They deprecated *their* version of the dev tools because Eclipse/ WOLips was so much better than what they had. Apple uses WOLips internally. Apple runs their entire business on WO.

They aren't going to release new dev tools. You'll just have to make due with the dev environment that at least 50% (if not much more) of all Java developers use.

Apple actually is now paying for some of the WOLips development _directly_!

They aren't going to abandon the platform as they'd have to completely re architect their entire business IT infrastructure.

I'm trying to convince our development staff to drop our proprietary dev stack and adopt WebObjects. I like WO a good deal, and things like Project WOnder help too. The problem I have is that one of the developers has pointed out that Apple has deprecated the development tools. You can't write code without tools. So it's clear that Apple is either going to release a new tool set (even if that is WOLips), or completely abandon the platform.

With Apple not divulging such info, I was wondering if anyone might have any additional info on the mater: a private response would be fine. It really comes down to no large company would ever adopt something without knowing the vendor is going to continue to support it (FUD, as invented by IBM!).

	Any guidance would be appreciated.
