EOGenerator

Rock
Reading over this site, I worry that I'm coming off a little negative lately. To combat this negativity, I started a new topic: Rock. Herein I describe things I really like.

First up is Rubicode's open-sourced EOGenerator tool.

If you're using WebObjects (or just EOF -- be it ObjC or Java), you owe it to yourself to learn and use this tool. It takes a little to get going, but it's so worth it. To make it a little easier for you, here are my template files.

The latest version of EOGenerator can now write your fetch spec wrappers for you, which was the last bit of code I used to have to hand-write when using EOF. Nowadays, the only code I have to write is new logic. Basically, almost all the coding drudgery typically associated development is gone. Awesome! Hats off to Mike Gentry, Carl Lindberg, and Doug McClure, the brains behind the tool.
