@ -43,6 +43,14 @@ This is the base class for the whole hierarchy; an eoObject defines
basically an interface for the whole hierarchy: each object should
know its name (#className#). Previously, this object defined a print and read
interface, but it´s been moved to eoPrintable and eoPersistent.
It is recommended that you only derive from eoObject in concrete classes.
Some parts of EO do not implement this yet, but that will change in the future.
eoObject, together with eoPersistent and eoPrintable provide a simple persistence
framework that is only needed when the classes have state that changes at runtime.

Maarten: removed the default implementation as this proved to
be too error-prone: I found several classes that had a typo in
className (like classname), which would print eoObject instead of
their own...
their own. Having it pure will force the implementor to provide a
name.
