[xmlvm-users] Using Auto-gen tools to build platform extensions .aka. Plug-ins ?

[Jeff P. <jcp...@ro...>]

Hello,
Have been watching your progress for sometime.  Never even got a
distribution till today.  The reason being if SQLite was not available, then
there is no point. 

I have also used JavaCL, which is built up around running opencl.h through a
program called JNAerator ( http://code.google.com/p/jnaerator/).  This
produces a .java file similar to the ones I see in ³plugins² directories.
Here is one based on a SQLite header file (
http://code.google.com/p/nativelibs4java/issues/attachmentText?id=47&aid=-47
83055163521202661&name=Sqlite3.java&token=1f1d1e7779a2abd4ad5fec4a43b618b0 )

This class calls some BridJ  classes & binaries (
http://code.google.com/p/bridj/).  BridJ & JNAerator are both written by
Olivier Chafik, my personal hero.  BridJ is BSD, so licensing is a
non-issue.

My thought was to try to get the Bridj part into the objc directory of the
plugin.  If this can be made to work, maybe the iphone compatibility layer
could be computer generated too, since I the plugin directory structure
there.  This could all too much work.  I do not know, but if not you might
be able to ditch hand building bindings code, outside of Harmony, anyway.
Wait does harmony use .h files?

Please feel free to tell me I am whacked,
