It would be nice if XINS would have a commandline environment, similar to the Spring Roo commandline environment. So then you should be able to do this:
$ xins
Welcome to XINS 3.1. Type "hint" for information on what can be done next.
xins> hint
create-project -- to create a new project
xins> create-project
Project name: albizia
Domain name: pensioenpage.com
[ DONE ] xins-project.xml file created.
xins> hint
create-api -- to create a new API within the current project
Here's some information on how Spring Roo implements its shell:
