Why no NW CE 7.1 on Mac OS X?

Hi,

Why does NetWeaver CE 7.1 not support Mac OS X?

NetWeaver CE 7.1 is based on an Eclipse 3.3, which run's perfectly under Mac OS X.

Are there any plans to support Mac OS X as an developer plattform for CE 7.1?

Or does anybody has managed to run CE 7.1 under Mac OS X?

My approach would be:

  • Download vanilla Eclipse 3.3 and install it.

  • Download NetWeaver CE 7.1 install under Windows

  • Copy the plugins and features to the Eclipse mac version

See what happens...

best regards,

ben

Hi Bernd,

I tried that as soon as the CE Sneak Preview came out last year, but haven't tried it yet with the newest SP.

Good news is that it definitely works, at least the WebDynpro and Dev.Inf. perspective.

As for tips, I used the PowerPC Carbon Build (have an old MacMini), and I made sure both NWDS and Eclipse were coming from the exact same source, which means the "Build ID" for both should be exactly the same.

Unfortunately I guess such construct won't be supported by SAP in case you have an issue, but using VMWare Fusion for development is definitely an overkill.

Best regards,

Oriol

Any luck here? I would be really interested if anyone got this working on OS X.
