Re: Eclipse WO + SVN

2008-07-28 Thread Bruce Fancher
Yeah, I switched to the command-line about a year ago and haven't looked back. However, if you do use Subclipse, make sure you open Preferences, go to Team->SVN and click on "SVNKit (Pure Java)" instead of "JavaHL (JNI)." I found that with JavaHL if you do a commit across multiple Eclipse

Although perhaps not the simplest, IMHO the most powerful, flexible, fastest and best-documented XML Java framework is JiBX (http://jibx.sourceforge.net/). Give it a look. Bruce -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Lindesay Sent: Saturd

RE: JS libraries used with WO

2007-06-19 Thread Bruce Fancher
I've done a fair amount of AJAX w/ lesser web frameworks (Spring Web, blech) but haven't had the opportunity to do much w/ WO yet. Given that Project Wonder already supports Prototype, I guess I'd use that, but on previous project I found Dojo to be pretty good. I've also heard good things about

RE: WWDC Bash

2007-06-17 Thread Bruce Fancher
The bash in SF was pretty nice. My only complaint is that when I drove down from Cupertino, the police had closed the 4th street exit, so I ended up arriving a half hour later than I would've because I had to drive over the Bay Bridge and then drive around Oakland trying to find my way back. But

RE: Hibernate was Re: News from Webobjecs sessions

I also prefer EOF and Cayenne to Hibernate, but I've had to use Hibernate on a project and it's usable. It's not great, and certain things like the criteria api are completely broken to the point of uselessness, but as open sources projects go I've seen much worse. I think the use of annotations

2007-06-17 Thread Bruce Fancher
As a typically lazy developer, one of the things I miss the most from the Objective-C version of WebObjects was the ability to very quickly write and refine pages with WebScript, and just sit there hitting reload until I got the code right. Much, much faster than the code-compile-launch-test-stop-

2007-06-13 Thread Bruce Fancher
I have no idea one way or the other, but even if you could use Xcode for WebObjects, why would you want to? Xcode is a great IDE for Objective-C and COCOA. For anything Java, including WebObjects, Eclipse (despite its many headaches and shortcomings) blows it away. Some people also use IDEA for

I've only just begun to play around with it and so far I'm very impressed and excited about it. I don't understand about half of it, so it must be really good ;-). A good place to start for those who are curious is: http://www.artima.com/scalazine/articles/steps.html Bruce ___

RE: [OT] JS/AJAX toolkits evaluation

2007-05-26 Thread Bruce Fancher
I've picked pieces out of Dojo and used them sucessfully. Some parts of it seem good, while others seem to just be thrown in there, and the documentation is still extremely poor. OTOH, the fact that IBM is backing it is appealing as it seems to have some momentum and will presumably get better.

Whatever you do, don't learn JSP aka the evil spawn of Cthulu. Besides being complete garbage technically, it's pretty much been deprecated by Sun in favor of JSF. If, for whatever reason, you decide that you want to use an open source web framework, consider Tapestry or Wicket, or if you want so
