Re: [xmlvm-users] NetBeans plugin for XMLVM

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

a few comments from my side about what has been discussed in this thread 
so far:

- as Panayotis mentioned, it is not a good idea to bundle xmlvm.jar
   with the Netbeans plugin as XMLVM rapidly evolves. Perhaps do
   something similar as the Android Eclipse plugin: have a
   configuration dialog where you can tell the plugin about the
   location of xmlvm.jar
- I'm not familiar with the commonalities/differences between
   Netbeans and Eclipse plugin architectures. Sharing code is
   certainly desirable. I'm an Eclipse user and wouldn't mind
   having something similar for Eclipse as what you did for
   Netbeans.
- about the actual project you are proposing: XMLVM has its own
   Android Compatibility Library (in xmlvm/src/android2iphone).
   Do *NOT* use android.jar from the Android SDK. It won't work.
   Take a look at the slides in xmlvm/doc/slides. At the end
   we describe the process of adding missing Android API.
- No matter which approach you take, you will need to come up
   with the iOS Java API. XMLVM's Android Compat Lib builds upon
   this iOS Java API and is therefore the first thing you need
   to implement. The next step is to implement the missing
   Android Compat Library classes. Depending on how you design
   your project, you might already be able to use the iOS API
   directly, bypassing the Android layer. But that is just one
   option.
