Essentially, CodeWarrior, for Mac development, should not be
considered for new development (I have to use it for a legacy
product, and there's lots of features it lacks, and debugging is
painful under 10.4 and later, especially for Intel-based Macs). Use
Xcode instead; it's free and already available to you on your system
disks.
PowerPlant, for the most part, was very useful before CarbonEvents
and Cocoa came to be part of the Mac operating system, but since
these facilities and many more became available, you'll be better
off rewriting your code into platform-specific and platform-neutral
logic, and then move your MFC-based code into the platform-specific
section, which is where your Mac/Cocoa code will go, and any logic
that doesn't really care about a particular platform should go into
the platform-neutral area.
I have to strongly second this approach. Of the 15 frameworks I've
authored and/or used over the years, the most successful apps written
always contained platform-specific UI.
If you attempt to go cross-platform for everything, the app typically
suffers (since you're now dealing with a least-common-denominator UI
and many religious wars such a button placements). Also have found
that the amount of workarounds and/or bugs in such frameworks are
often quite high. So the benefits of the so-called write-once are
typically lost.
