Alright, so I am not an 'old school' WO dev. I have used it for a few
years now for several projects and overall I really like the
platform. That said, I am so frustrated by the tools right now, I am
about to throw the whole platform in the trash bin.
Up until about 3 weeks ago, I was managing, though not terribly
thrilled with the WOLips/Eclipse toolchain. Then my old laptop lost a
hard disk. So I replaced it with a new MacBook Pro (great machine
btw). Installed Xcode and WO. Downloaded Eclipse, ran WOLips install
(both the all in one and the get updates route), opened current
projects, none of them will build. None of the WO Library jar's and
frameworks can be found.
2 nights of Googling and poking and prodding, I finally have the
projects building (yay!), but now, no debugging. It just doesn't
work. It pretends it is going to work, but no, it just sits there
waiting and then eventually comes back with: "Exception in thread
"main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/webobjects/eocontrol/
EOEvent".
So obviously, it can't find the application start up process.
Seriously, we've got this great platform and tools that make VI and
Makefile's look elegant at times. I cannot imagine how we gave seen
this platform regress this badly in the last year. I look at the blog
and see all the progress, but I'll be damed if I can find the
information about how to make things actually work.
I can't be the only one feeling these frustrations, or am I really
that f'ing dumb?
