Hi,
I am currently developing on a Macbook with 2GB of ram running Windows XP
Pro inside a VMware fusion virtual machine.
I can quite easily run Eclipse and Postgres on my VM with out running into
any problems.
Eclipse actually runs slightly faster inside the Windows VM due to Java 6 (I
only have Java 5 on Leopard obviously).
We deploy to a BSD box though, so I can't really give you any hints in terms
of deployment.
I would definitely recommend using Postgres or MySQL over MS SQL Server
though, if for no other reason than it gives you the option of porting to
OSX or some other Unix variant in the future.
Cheers,
Mitch

Subject: WO development on Windows with Eclipse/WOLips
All,
WebObjects is definitely an awesome tool. I can say that as for the past
four years I have been using WO, my WO efforts and the results the apps
generate have caught the attention of a much larger company under whom I
am now employed.
My question centers around the fact I am required to embrace a government
standard of Windows + SQL Server for the WO applications for both
deployment and development. Deployment comes later, and with the recent
activity on the list I believe I will be ok using Tomcat.
But, development has me concerned, and I welcome any advice/guidance in
spec-ing a Windows system with Eclipse/WOLips for development in terms
of:
XP vs Vista - which one is best with Eclipse/WOLips? Any 64bit issues
with Vista and Eclipse/WOLips?
RAM - I know more is always better but XP has a "theoretical" limit of
4GB, and I am coming from a Mac Pro with 6GB.
So, for those of you currently developing on the other platform, can you
offer any guidance or advice?
Thanks in advance,
David
