Thanks all for the responses! Some answers to your questions:
"I think what you are saying is that you were using Apple Development tools including Xcode and WOBuilder to design your apps but now… now you’ve upgraded your Mac and you can’t run them anymore…. You sorta know that your only choice is to go Eclipse… does this sound like your situation? I’m guessing too :-) "" -- Yes, can no longer run WO on my current machine. It is dying, and cannot patch it with anymore old parts. Plain JSP is what I am thinking of switching to. The reason we're stripping out the webobjects from the code is due to the server it lies on. It is running on a decade old mac, version 10.5.8. My understanding is that i cannot run a webobjects app on a windows box (or maybe Red Hat)? Am I correct with my thoughts on that....? I need a simple Java framework to convert all the code in, JSP is what I first thought of, but I'm open to suggestions. The application listserv type app, where users are creating, adding, removing people form listservs. As, one of you mentioned it does use the EOF, so I would need to rewrite that, and I don't know much as to what it is involved in there eitehr either. Any guidance as to what to expect would be greatly appreciated. Apologies for the confusing questions. Thank you all!
