when to use some Java or lang du jour class?
WO, as a framework, is what matters. The language it runs on is just
a vessel.
That is actually one of the best comments in this discussion. Whether
I agree or not to the dateformat discussion in one or the other way,
it seems a little bit to me as if WO is loosing the focus to be a very
nice to use and very intelligently build framework in favour of adding
more and more Java specific oddities.
Most of the Java libraries are just a big, ugly mess of classes, one
not compatible with the other and most of them not intuitive to use.
We really shouldn't go that route! And, as Apple doesn't really care
about other platforms, why forcing stuff into WO, that is conceptually
incompatible with the existing WO classes AND with the ideas existent
in Cocoa.
cug, just my private opinion as a Cocoa lover and WO developer
