Re: [xmlvm-users] Java iPhone emulator display weirdness

[Arno P. <ar...@pu...>]

The problem you are experiencing has to do with the fact that the Java 
emulator does not handle labels with line breaks.

When we began with the Java API for iOS, we also implemented the 
behavior of the various widgets, which ended up being the Java emulator. 
Note that this is a humongous task because you have to implement the 
behavior of every iOS widget in Java. At some point we (the core team) 
decided not to extend the Java emulator any further but focus our energy 
on cross-compilation. If someone contributed patches to enhance this, we 
would certainly be more than happy to add them to XMLVM.
