I bought CW10 because (I think) I read on this newsgroup
that it would ease life for us developers.

I ported my App from CW9 to CW10 without much (or any?)
difficulty a few weeks ago.

I still have separate folders on my Mac, one for CW9, one for CW10.

To my surprise, when I import the (CW10) project into Xcode,
the XCode importer locates and uses the PowerPlant files from CW9.
This seems to be an Xcode bug, in the way they treat compiloer-relative
search paths. (e.g., {Compiler}MacOS Support/PowerPlant).

So is this a bug in the Xcode importer?
Or am I violating some law by having CW9 and CW10 coresident?
I didn't believe the results the first time, so I re-imported
with the same results.

Probably I'll delete, or hide, the CW 9 folder before
importing a third time ... unless someone offers a better solution.

Xcode's importer is designed to work with CodeWarrior 8 and 9. I doubt
they have had time to update the importer to accept CodeWarrior 10 yet,
since the release was only 5 weeks ago. Perhaps this is the problem.

Now that version 10 is officially CodeWarrior's final release, it would
be nice if Xcode would be updated one last time to allow for this. But
obviously this would be an Xcode decision, not a Metrowerks one.

Yep. I'm pretty sure that's it.

I'd suggest filing a bug report with Apple if you'd like this added.
There might already be a bug about it -- I'm not sure -- but more
requests can't hurt.
