Editing CodeWarrior (section)

===Moving to multiple platforms===
In 1997, Apple purchased [[NeXT]] in order to use their [[operating system]], [[OpenStep]], as the basis for future Mac products. OpenStep was based around the concept of the entire operating system and all of its applications being built using an internal development system. This was, in turn, based on the [[GNU Compiler Collection]] (GCC). While CodeWarrior would still be important for developers writing "classic" Mac applications on the platform, there was a clear time frame after which development would primarily be through the new OpenStep platform, and therefore be through the GCC. 

In August 1996, Metrowerks announced CodeWarrior for BeBox,<ref name=infoworld_18_33 /> a BeOS version of the IDE named ''BeIDE'' supplementing the PowerPC compiler that was already available to BeOS software developers.
