Re: [xmlvm-users] General questions wrt. Java iPhone development with XMLVM

[Sal <sv...@gm...>]

Thanks for the help - Just a few more questions:

I tried to build from SVN and compile the test app:

/xmlvm/src/test/iphone/org/xmlvm/test/iphone/widgets/button/UIButtonTest.java

But executing on the iphone simulator seems to throw a lot of runtime
errors.  Am I doing anything wrong or should this work?

Are there any other functional iphone UI test apps that I can try?  I'm
willing to fix issues and submit patches, just wanted to ping the list
before I started.

Also what about 'core' Java features? Like general language stuff: arrays,
reflection, inheritance, etc.  Is ObjC target still superior or is the C
platform further ahead?

And what do you recommend going forward - hack on the ObjC target or should
I try to make some of the C target UI components to work? I noticed in SVN
the C target has some defined iphone UI elements already.

Thanks much in advance for your help!!
