Hi Maik,

I completely agree with paying to fix the bugs  that are still in WOLips today.

That’s why I would suggest to make 2 lists :

- the first one : bug fixes
- the second one : wish list

I would gladly contribute to the first bug-fixes-list

I would gladly study the second list and contribute for the points that I will 
find relevant according to the cost requested by the developers

On the other hand, I am not sure I am very motivated by a change of IDE whose 
costs and risks (bugs) would be significantly higher.

Hi all,

I think the point is still valid. We shouldn’t invest in WOLips development 
without first discussing the option of creating similar plugins for alternative 
IDEs.

So, who has enough insight into and experience with IntelliJ, Netbeans and the 
like to offer some thoughts on this?

Maik

P.S. Meanwhile, another Eclipse plugin developer has offered his services, and 
not just to to plain dev work but also do training to enable other community 
members to take over. A similar thing is probably possible with other IDEs.

Well said, Aaron. WOBuilder was great. That said, I haven’t hated WOLips - I’ve 
actually really liked some aspects of the workflow.

Also, I’ll add secondarily that I find it unlikely that anyone will move to 
Xcode from Eclipse.

Thanks OC for sharing your experience and your code for the EOModeler on OSX. 
(I realize that is jvanek’s link; however, it was you who cobbled together the 
first version).

Eclipse does two things well:
1) Refactoring
2) Cross platform (Macs, PCs, Linux - mixed environment)

I use Eclipse today mainly because my team-mates chose it… and it’s ok, it has 
issues, but it’s alright for me. If we were honest, IntelliJ does those two 
things better than Eclipse but it doesn’t have the WOLips plugin. That plug-in 
is good but it is a never-ending struggle where Eclipse keeps breaking it in 
strange ways and nobody enjoys figuring out that useful friend in a foreign 
land. We’ve never fit in with the Eclipse community.

It was nice in the days when you could double-click install WebObjects with 
tooling on a Mac. I enjoyed ProjectBuilder, WOBuilder, EOModeler, it all worked 
very nice for the most part. It had some issues too… there are always issues, 
but that was the heyday and when I enjoyed working with WO the most. If it were 
up to me I’d run MacOS Tiger in a VM with all that tooling when doing WO. But 
to be the lone wolf when others prefer getting rid of the .wod file and not 
using the same IDE setup it’s more like fighting than being productive.

There was something guttural, tangible, enjoyable, with dragging member 
variables into component bindings. I enjoyed WOBuilder immensely and even 
created my member variables there. Whatever I do today I do in a trance where I 
imagine I was doing things that way. It’s like channelling an ancient codex to 
do my bidding in the modern age.

I’m fortunate that much of what I loved I do today in Ares / Enyo but it too is 
dead. Why is it that the flame that burns Twice as bright burns half as long?

... well, myself, I have found Eclipse next-to-unuseable (WOLips itself looked 
good, but it's, alas, Eclipse-based). In case there's more people similarly 
Eclipse-incompatible, let me just remind that the good ole XCode (with a couple 
of build scripts added) is considerably more convenient than Eclipse, and the 
only thing it can't do reasonably is EOmodelling.

Which is why there's a stand-alone EOModeller application, freely available at 
https://github.com/jvanek/EOModeler-OSX

(There's no graph view: for graph view you can use OmniGraffle, which still 
supports EOModels very nicely.)

All the best,
OC
