I was thinking that most likely I should try to prototype. It may be bit tricky though. I may only be able to work on a prototype out of hours. The company is very security concious. I don't know I would be allowed to checkout the source on my own computer to work on out of hours. I have a desktop in the office. I might be able to put in some extra time at the office but there is currently a problem with all the users being used up on the office alarm such that newer employees are not yet able to lockup or open up the office.
It remains to be seen what the political fallout would be to suggest replacing the Objective-C code particularly from the Objective-C code developers. Even if the company accepted moving to pure Java I think the Objective-C developers are hardly going to thank me for making their role redundant though I believe they also know Java so I would hope it would not put their job at risk. At the end of the day I am talking about 'porting' code and not writing new code from scratch so I would not think the existing Objective-C work is wasted. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
