Re: [xmlvm-users] Using XMLVM with Maven

[<ju...@ed...>]

 From this thread:
[xmlvm-users] --target=iphonec NullPointerException
https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=28772376

Arno has identified that an invocation of ant target 'run-XCode' is  
required against a skeleton project in order to avoid this error:
>> [02/01/12 19:07:18.633]    ERROR: Couldn't create node for  
>> android.app.Activity

Running this ant target on a skeleton project does create all of the  
necessary artifacts to avoid this error:
xcode things are generated nicely.

NOW, I have *existing* Maven projects against which I have run the  
xmlvm-maven-plugin [0.0.1-SNAPSHOT] (which is itself built locally).
HOWEVER, during the build I see  the same error as that discussed above:

[INFO] --- xmlvm-maven-plugin:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT:generate-xmlvm (generate)  
@ AndroidXMLVMXCodePOC ---
[INFO] Running XMLVM with command line:  
[--in=/path/to/project/target/classes,  
--out=/path/to/project/target/AndroidXMLVMXCodePOC, --target=posix,  
--app-name=AndroidXMLVMXCodePOC, -DXcodeProject=iphone,  
-DBundleIdentifier=apkg.AndroidXMLVMXCodePOC,  
-DBundleVersion=0.0.1-SNAPSHOT, -DPrerenderedIcon=false,  
-DStatusBarHidden=false, -DApplicationExits=true, --debug=warning]
[02/05/12 15:38:34.516]    ERROR: Couldn't create node for  
android.app.Activity

So, my 1st, and more important, question is:
Is it possible to have the necessary boilerplate artifacts generated  
during this process of converting a maven project ?

SECONDLY, I notice the -DXcodeProject-iphone argument, but from Arno's  
response in the thread:
[xmlvm-users] XStream : Android -> iOS
https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=28770943

Arno says
<quote>
--target=iphonec is required as the obj-C backend cannot support this.
</quote>

So, my 2nd question is : does -DXcodeProject=iphone use C or Obj-C backend ?
