Anyone get things working in Eclipse Ganymede? It seems the CDT doesn't
support ObjC any longer.
I think this is great news for us... it is very nice to be cited! It is
strange that they never wrote here or else let us know about this, not
when announced.
Getting in touch could also help that we "support" them without
introducing destructive changes or suggesting a too big duplication.
Having such a "customer" is interesting. It is stated that they want to
adapt the framework to target consumer electronics. SUre they want to
adopt their look and feel since they do not targed computers, however
support of touch display and 3d graphics might be interesting. I think
that if they get in touch with us, efforts can be shared instead of
duplicated.
Furthermore, in some of the links Gregory posted, they describe our
adherence to OpenStep and our following of cocoa in this manner:
* They add methods and classes, either from Cocoa or their own
extensions, if they add substantial value and don't interfere with
OpenStep and/or Cocoa compatibility.
* They generally don't remove things unless there is a clearly
better implementation in newer Cocoa API
* Where there is a real problem with a change, they will attempt
find a technically superior work-around. In rare cases, this might
involve a change in the original OpenStep API
I personally like this description! It also shows some blue in the sky,
given the current bashing and destructive thread we are having here lately.
Regards,
Riccardo
