Here is part of the outline of the presentation I gave at AdHoc
(formerly MacHack) There still isn't much I can say until mid August
Ron
Why is Metrowerks Still Quiet?
On July 16th Freescale IPO occurred (stock symbol: FSL)
We still cannot disclose any long range plans (forward leading
information) until the Middle of August
We will have a more complete roadmap to present in mid August
Until then, we can only give out minimal information
Lets end some Anxietie Metrowerks is�
Planning to have patches for CodeWarrior Development Studio for Mac OS v9
Planning on a future release of CodeWarrior Development Studio for Mac
OS X
Developing a road map for the next release
What About Java?
We have various options to consider it isn't dead
The demand has not been large
It is needed for Academic sales
CodeWarrior Java compilers are too out of date
Native Javac plugins don�t offer all the features we formerly provided
Let us know if you want Java
write to desktop@metrowerks.com
What About 64-bit (G5) Compilers?
We are planning 64 bit compilers and G5 support
Please wait for the roadmap for this information
What About the Future on Mac?
As part of our alignment with Freescale Semiconductor all of Metrowerks
products, services and priorities were re-evaluated
Metrowerks must remain focused and not become stretched but Apple is one
of Freescale�s customers
Apple developers are our richest asset for quality control � No one
provides the coverage that you provide
What about PowerPlantX
PowerPlantX is, was, and always will be OPEN SOURCE, it is just not
public domain or GPL
There are many options for PowerPlantX
Please provide feedback to desktop@metrowerks.com on your preferences
Regarding Competing with XCode
Metrowerks has always competed with so called �free tools� and won the
marketshare
Competition is good
Our compilers and libraries are superior
Our support is superior
We recognize that our IDE is old
Sorry I can't say more I hope you draw some reassurance from this.
Ron
