#1 Problem compiling with java -jar xmlvm.jar

[Daniel Branco]

Hello,

I am new using XmlVM, I must say that is an interesting and flexible project which I'm attracted to.

Anyway, I'm confuse about how to use it. I downloaded Java 6 update 14, Eclipse JEE Galileo, Subeclipse, then connect to svn repository give by you and download the whole repository, last version of Apache ant command. Finally I "ant" the repository and get the dist directory as the documentation says, but after this some interesting things happened. When I run "java -jar xmlvm.jar" an error display "Error: Need at least one --in argument"

Then in order to test the "in", "out" and "target" options. I create an environment variable "%xmlvm%=java -jar xmlvm.jar" simulating an alias in unix. Then I just made a class in Eclipse adding reference to the xmlvm JARs build it and then launching the following (the class contain the same code to iHelloWorld example):

%xmlvm% --in=holaMundo.class --out="C:/"

and got:

[07/23/09 23:53:57.906] DEBUG: Instantiated: org.xmlvm.proc.in.ClassInputProcess
[07/23/09 23:53:57.906] DEBUG: Instantiated: org.xmlvm.proc.in.ClassInputProcess for "holaMundo.class"
