I'm returning to WebObjects after a few months doing iPhone programming to
assist a colleague move to Eclipse/WOLips, and I'm not sure where to take
him. My own WOLips tools are still at the Europa level, but I'm prepared to
take the jump to Ganymede and suffer any pain personally before trying to
walk someone new into it.
What would you advise? Move to 3.4.1+nightly now, wait for 3.4.1+stable,
get him going with 3.3+stable and migrate him later? Any help much
appreciated ... Gavin
