I can understand how it can seem like a daunting task, especially
if you have a lot of frameworks and apps. What I have found (and I
am still transitioning by the way), is take an hour here or there
(perhaps after the 2 kids are gone to bed and your wife is off
doing laundry, playing some computer game or watching Gray's
Anatomy ;-) and bring one framework into Eclipse, refactor a little
from all those great yellow exclamation marks, build, install and
deploy it. If some apps are huge, then perhaps some of stable,
reusable portions can be refactored out into some frameworks that
can be created in Eclipse. So, now you are still developing apps in
XCode and getting acclimated to Eclipse as you create/maintain your
frameworks ........ before you know it, you will start getting
upset at the java assistance tools in XCode and the Eclipse future
will start looking better :-)
The hardest part of importing I always find is stopping myself.
All of those great refactoring tools! Well... the classes really
should be moved into packages, and I never really like that class
name, ooo, that method signature has got to go, and maybe now would
be a good time to drag that old app into the Project WOnder universe,
and while I'm here I might as well gut the kitchen and put in a new
bathroom...
Before I know it I'm missed another episode of Heroes.
