Re: [J2me-device-db-general] Plugin Problems

Hi!

I'm not very familiar with the microcode framework (I use the other, 
linux/shell/gcc based one), but here is how the pngsize works:

When the exporter runs in resource collector mode (ie creates the JAR 
file), it can also save the profile as text file. The profile contains 
all the properties from the phone database (for the given phone) as well 
as all the properties defined in the "resource recepie" file, hence also 
the image sizes.

For example let's take a test image, call it test.png. Write the 
following res.txt:

//--------8<----------
#pngsize on
+test.png
//--------8<----------

I executed the exporter this way:

$ ~/work/j2me-device-db/tools/exporter/exporter --root 
/work/j2me-device-db/db --res res.txt --jar out.jar --format cpp 
--output profile.h sonyericsson/k750

(I have the j2medd project at ~/work/j2me-device-db)
In short what each options does:
--root - specifies where the phone database is
--res - means work in resource collector mode, read the resource list 
from res.txt
--jar - create the jar file with the resource
--format - use the C header file format for output (for the profile file)
--output - save the profile file

Now in profile.h I will have all the properties and image sizes:

...
//+TEST_PNG
#define TEST_PNG_WIDTH 256
#define TEST_PNG_WIDTH_ "256"
#define TEST_PNG_HEIGHT 256
#define TEST_PNG_HEIGHT_ "256"

I think the microcode framework creates the profile file as well, but I 
don't know where. Also it uses a different naming convention (ie. the 
properties are not converted to uppercase, etc).
Actually now I just took a look in microcode, it seems it does not save 
the profile file when collecting resources. It executes the exporter 
twice: first to get the profile file, then to create the jar. This has 
the disadvantage that the properties set in the resource file cannot be 
accessed from the code... but I might be mistaken here...
