[xmlvm-users] some more patches for iphone development

[Panayotis K. <pan...@pa...>]

Just to inform the community, in case someone is working on the same  
thing, not to do duplicated work.

I am working on ways to make xmlvm friendlier to other not-so- 
technically-advanced people.
Basically to people who just want to try this project and create some  
stuff, as easy as possible.
Only being easy this project will succeed ;-)

I have already created some patches which I have sent to the developer  
team for validation, they told me in a week or so (since now they  
can't) they will be patched on the main tree (hopefully).
The basic target was to create specific templates for projects and  
lower the things someone needs to know before developing with xmlvm.

Now it will be possible to

a) Create a hello-world template, from inside the program, as a first  
step of the development cycle

b) Easier linking with xmlvm.jar file only, during the development  
cycle, no need to search for libraries or include these PNG files  
which usually break java execution

c) Automatically create an XCode project, based on your compiled  
project, so it would be easy to target cases, as distributing and  
installing on the iphone

These are the main points (with smaller other improvements of course).

If anyone wants to have a look at it, I'll be glad to send it to have  
a look and test these features (although they should work fine, after  
my tests).
