But EOModeler cares. EOModeler uses the Bridged JDBC Adaptor to  
connect to the Database. So if the Java bridge is gone EOModeler runs  
no longer.

In WOLips you've got Entity Modeler which is basically EOModeler  
without the graphical view.

I for my part don't consider this critical since I can live without  
it. I use the HTML Editor as part of the WOD component editor which  
WOLips provides on a daily base. It supports syntax highlighting,  
syntax checking and code formatting which is more important for me  
than to have a rendering preview. If you're creating highly dynamic  
pages the preview WOBuilder provides isn't very useful anyway. But of  
course everybody has his own preferences.
