Hi all,

I apologize if this is off topic for help-gnustep.
I have been trying to figure out a decent development environment for
doing development in GNUstep.
Unfortunately is ProjectCenter not mature enough and I would like to
contribute to that some day, but now I wonder if there is a good
setup for Emacs?
I come from a VisualWorks/Smalltalk background and I guess I am quite
used to being able to see object hierarchies etc.
I have played around a little with oo-browser but I guess I miss
something fundamental to be able to be able to browse the Base and Gui
classes.

What tools of the trade does people on this list use? Note, XCode of
course - but I do not have the ability do develop on a Mac currently.

Best regards,
Tim

From what class should custom enterprise objects inherit, NSObject or
EOGenericRecord? I've tried both ways and have not been successful
running the following code snippet:

job = [[ESJob alloc] init];
[job setStyle:8];
[ec insertObject:job];
[ec saveChanges];
NSLog(@"%%@", [jobDS fetchObjects]);

where ec is my EOEditingContext and jobDS is an EODatabaseDataSource
for the ESJob entity (I followed the setup in the GDL2 examples).
When I inherit from EOGenericRecord, the code fails when saving
changes and gives the output I copied in below. When ESJob inherits
from NSObject, the code fails when I attempt to fetch the objects.

I am running OS X (Leopard) and am using the sources from svn (the
revision I'm working with is 26179). My library combo is apple-apple-
apple. I've included the interface and implementation files for my
ESJob class below the error output I've received. If you need any
other info, please let me know.
