GDL2 custom class creation

[Blake Nicholson]

From what class should custom enterprise objects inherit, NSObject or  
EOGenericRecord?  I've tried both ways and have not been successful  
running the following code snippet:

job = [[ESJob alloc] init];
[job setStyle:8];
[ec insertObject:job];
[ec saveChanges];
NSLog(@"%@", [jobDS fetchObjects]);

where ec is my EOEditingContext and jobDS is an EODatabaseDataSource  
for the ESJob entity (I followed the setup in the GDL2 examples).   
When I inherit from EOGenericRecord, the code fails when saving  
changes and gives the output I copied in below.  When ESJob inherits  
from NSObject, the code fails when I attempt to fetch the objects.

I am running OS X (Leopard) and am using the sources from svn (the  
revision I'm working with is 26179).  My library combo is apple-apple- 
apple.  I've included the interface and implementation files for my  
ESJob class below the error output I've received.  If you need any  
other info, please let me know.


Thank you,
Blake
