* Linux (Red Hat Enterprise)
Development work must be done on Linux (Red Hat Enterprise). I have
read
something on WOCommunity.org that the initial installation needs
are Mac,
and after that the packages could be moved to Linux. Is the
installation
process difficult? Has anyone done DEVELOPMENT work on Linux using
WebObjects 5.4? -- I need to be very sure about this. Thanks!
Unfortunately, while deployment is allowed on any platform,
development on anything other than OS X is not allowed by the
WebObjects license.
I don't believe it actually states that you have to run OSX, it does
however say you have to use apple hardware, so the logical conclusion
is you will be using OSX, as all WO development needs to be done on a
Mac. Active WOLips development is only really geared toward supporting
OSX, and windows to a small degree. If it works fine on linux it's by
chance rather than by design.
There is no technical limitation at all for this, and in fact you
can use the WOInstaller.jar to install completely without OS X, but
you WILL be in violation of the license terms.
Just to clarify, using WOInstaller.jar on your system doesn't violate
the license terms, as it only facilitates installing the webobjects
runtime and doesn't install any development related tools, however
using the resulting runtime installation for development purposes on
non apple systems will constitute a violation of the license terms.
This is a risk you will have to evaluate for yourself. I would
also recommend waiting until 5.4.2 is officially released
(presumably with the iPhone SDK, which is likely July 11th along
with the iPhone) rather than going with 5.4.0 or 5.4.1, if nothing
other than the SQL generation issues surrounding 5.4.<2.
* WebObjects Builder
Apple has deprecated most of the WebObjects development tools,
including
WebObjects Builder. So, what is the equivalent or replacement for
WebObjects
Builder, to build applications on LINUX?
Ignoring the license violation, the replacement is just like on
every other platform, which is to use Component Editor in Eclipse.
It is not a graphical editor like WOB, but it is very powerful and
most people I have talked to end up preferring it after switching.
