They deprecated *their* version of the dev tools because Eclipse/
WOLips was so much better than what they had. Apple uses WOLips
internally. Apple runs their entire business on WO.
They aren't going to release new dev tools. You'll just have to make
due with the dev environment that at least 50% (if not much more) of
all Java developers use.
Apple actually is now paying for some of the WOLips development
_directly_!
They aren't going to abandon the platform as they'd have to completely
re architect their entire business IT infrastructure.

I'm trying to convince our development staff to drop our
proprietary dev stack and adopt WebObjects. I like WO a good deal,
and things like Project WOnder help too. The problem I have is that
one of the developers has pointed out that Apple has deprecated the
development tools. You can't write code without tools. So it's
clear that Apple is either going to release a new tool set (even if
that is WOLips), or completely abandon the platform.
With Apple not divulging such info, I was wondering if anyone might
have any additional info on the mater: a private response would be
fine. It really comes down to no large company would ever adopt
something without knowing the vendor is going to continue to support
it (FUD, as invented by IBM!).
Any guidance would be appreciated.
