You basically have two options here, but bare in mind that you need to have
OSX 10.5 in order to compile the generated Objective-C code to an
iPhone/iPod application.

This command line should generate you a Makefile along with the compiled
code. This Makefile can be used on OSX 10.5 to compile the application and
to launch it in Apples iPhone emulator. At least with the iPhone SDK 2.X
this works. I've heard Arno saying that they changed something in 3.0 so
this method is currently not working with the 3.0 SDK.

You other option is to use Xcode. You simply create an iPhone application in
Xcode, just the way you would do it when you want to code a normal iPhone
app. You then simply add all the generated files to that project and off you
go. You can run the code in Apple's simulator or you can create a package
that you can then sign and push to an iPhone.

As I said above, you definitely need OSX 10.5 for this. There is currently
now way to compile iPhone/iPod apps anywhere else to my knowledge.

iPod is not problem at all. What do you mean by without touchscreen
functions? An iPod and iPhone are no different when it comes to the
touchscreen.

First of all, plenty of JavaDoc exists, we just don't generate it yet.
JavaDoc wouldn't be so helpful as long as you just want to use XMLVM. If you
want to extend it, then JavaDoc is important. But then you can easily
generate it youself using Eclipse for example. We are aware, that there is
still plenty of JavaDoc missing and we are working on it.

It's absolutely fine, no worries! :)

What would this plugin do?
