Nimbostratusmac osx anyone?
anyone know if f5 has plans to expand their supported platforms at all in the future, particularly osx? i'm interested in seeing the irule editor ported. non-windows platforms are gaining a larger and larger portion of the desktop market both in and out of the enterprise. seems like a good plan to jump on that market early.

nik_65678changing the direction of a project is never easy, i can only imagine the headache that trying to port that is.
if you do end up finding a halfway-decent way of porting, what would you think of dividing the project into two sections - one for the backend and one for the gui?- Another option is to take a off the shelf editor and build an extension to support the iRules Syntax. TextMate has a pretty good way to extend and build your own grammars. But, it's not free. $59 per seat.

- Been working on one in Java. I believe I have all the fatal kinks worked out. Joe's still has more features than mine but Njord has a couple of cool tricks of it's own.

Parallels running Windows XP uses a feature called Coherence to put the windows iRule editor on your Mac desktop with ease. I realise there are other solutions but when you are in a hurry.... it just works.- Kevin_Davies_40
