Re: [xmlvm-users] Using byte data type with xmlvm

[Inderjeet S. <ind...@gm...>]

Hi Arno,

Thanks for the quick response. I am compiling from Java.
Here is an example:

class Foo {  private final byte value;
  public Foo(byte value) {
    this.value = value;
  }
  public byte getValue() {
    return value;
  }
}

Thanks

Re: [xmlvm-users] Using byte data type with xmlvm

[Sascha H. <sa...@gm...>]

Hi Inder,
thanks for that find. It is totally possible that we don't map the byte type
yet. I don't think we use it in any of our current applications.

Can you dell me, which output language you are cross-compiling into?

[xmlvm-users] Using byte data type with xmlvm

[Inderjeet S. <ind...@gm...>]

I have some code that uses java data type byte extensively, and the
generated xmlvm code uses byte* everywhere but fails to compile.
Does xmlvm handle byte datatype? If not, will just adding a typedef from
byte to char solve the problem?

Thanks

Re: [xmlvm-users] a few questions...

[Sascha H. <sa...@gm...>]

Hi Gabriel,
wow a Synthesizer, that sounds like a cool project! I don't know anything
about the audio APIs on the iPhone and Android, so I cannot really tell you
whether this is feasible. But if there is something comparable, I'd say why
not.

We haven't actually done any proper benchmarks. Fact of the matter is that
our generated Objective-C code can be optimized and we are currently working
on that. But I don't know how it compares directly against the same Android
app running on a device. My guess is that it heavily depends on what the
code is doing.

[xmlvm-users] a few questions...

[Gabriel S. <gab...@gm...>]

hey guys, I think it's a cool project you're working on. I've made a couple
of very simple iPhone apps with objective C actually in a workshop. I don't
even own an iPhone but I'd like to make an app. I was thinking on doing a
synthesizer. Would it be possible to make a synth with java and then cross
compile it so it works on the iPhone?

I also was wondering how different is the performance comparing the obj-c
code with the java code on the iphone?

thanks a lot.

XMLVM uses categories to extend existing Cocoa classes, so the overhead 
is minimal. In many cases it is not just a matter of delegating the 
method call in the wrapper, but there is a little more that has to be 
done (for example garbage collection or mapping from value types to 
objects).

[xmlvm-users] Changing the method naming?

[Björn C. <bj...@ca...>]

That's the beauty of os. Everybody can work on what's interests them.
Hopefully someone else has interest in it amd will help me since I don't
think I can complete it on my own.

When I started thinking about this I saw that you had developed Java
api's for the iPhone but the problem that I saw was that you also had to
develop objective c counterpart for every class. This is to translate
from the name+param-type methodnames, you have to use to handle
polymorphism. Coming from JavaME I am used to keep the size of the
binary down and to double every compatibility class does not seem right.

Could this naming problem be solved? I was thinking that maybe there
could be a parameter that tells XMLVM to not add type to the method name
when calling a specified package. In the case of iPhone libraries it
would be the default package since Objective C does not have packages.
What do you think of that idea?

Its really quite simple: Apple keeps in total control over which 
applications get accepted to the AppStore. You first have to submit your 
application (only the binary, not the source), Apple reviews it, and 
then they may or may not accept it to their AppStore. We have submitted 
Xokoban on July 1st for review; exactly a month ago and we are still 
waiting. Apple is not very consistent with its decisions. If you search 
the web, you will find plenty of such stories.

The linking exception is granted to an individual or a company who makes 
the contribution to XMLVM. This linking exception is non-transferable. 
This means that you yourself can do work for hire for your clients 
without having to release your application under the GPL, but your 
client could not do the development work.

I agree that debugging capabilities are important. As long as there is a 
Java version of the Cocoa Touch classes, you can debug under Eclipse. If 
you want to debug on the device, you have to use Xcode. The big downside 
here is that you would be debugging the Objective-C source code that 
XMLVM generates. That is like debugging assembler code. It should be 
possible to insert meta-information (i.e., line numbers) into the 
generated Objective-C code and build a bridge to an external Java 
debugger. That is no easy task.

That's basically it. A first step would be to look at Java class files 
with debug information and map that debug information to XMLVM so it can 
be used during code generation. Generating debug info would have to be 
done in class ParseJVM by making use of BCEL. Patches are welcome. :-)

Well, how about just doing a plain old TCP socket? Or simpler, just use 
HTTP to communicate with the device.

Re: [xmlvm-users] Support for J2ME (MIDP) to IPhone cross compilation, commercial usage, Apple AppStore?

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

Björn,

we at XMLVM have no big interest in JavaME, but of course you are free 
to work on this and we would also integrate your stuff to our code base. 
If I can just make one suggestion: do it in a similar way as we do for 
the android2iphone part: first expose the Cocoa Touch API that you need 
in Java and then write a compatibility layer for Java ME on top that 
only makes use of this Cocoa Touch Java API. This way the Java for the 
iPhone portion of XMLVM will benefit as well.

[Björn C. <bj...@ca...>]

Hi!
I have also been thinking of contributing to JavaME to iPhone porting.
My idea is to create JavaME libraries for the phone and then use the 
XMLVM to convert the code.
This is probably not what Gergely was thinking of.
Also there is not subproject for what I am thinking of. Is is possible 
to start a new one?

Re: [xmlvm-users] Support for J2ME (MIDP) to IPhone cross compilation, commercial usage, Apple AppStore?

[Gergely K. <ger...@ma...>]

Arno,

thank you for your prompt reply. Yes, we will most likely concentrate on
extending the android2iphone library.

I have to admit, I know less about the Apple AppStore submission process
than I would like. What does "submission for review" mean? Is this some kind
of dry run, where Apple checks if the submitted application complies to the
submission guidelines? Did Xokoban pass? :)

Regarding the commercial license: I just saw it mentioned in one of the
replies on the list, so I thought I would ask if there was already an
established commercial licensing model.
It is my experience that some of my clients are more comfortable spending on
a license so that they have an invoice and a contract filed away. However,
most clients will do OK with an open source licensed component, as long as
they don't have to release their own source.

So just to clarify: If we, as a company receive the "linking exception"
license in exchange for our contribution, are we allowed to develop
commercial applications for our clients, so that our clients would release
these applications to the public (basically "work made for hire")? Also:
would there be some kind of "expiration date" on this linking exception
license, or it would apply to all future revisions of xmlvm?

Now back to the interesting stuff:
One important issue in any embedded development scenario is the on device
debugging. It would be nice to provide a way for Java applications
translated by xmlvm to be debugged on the IPhone.

One solution comes to mind: Create a protocol bridge between the debugging
protocol used by the IPhone (I think they use GDB/MI, but I have to check
further), and Eclipse, which uses the standard Java debugger interface. As
part of the translation process xmlvm could output a mapping file which maps
the source line information in the class files to source line information in
the Objective-C sources.

The big IF in this approach is of course whether an external program outside
of Xcode can access the GDB/MI connection to the IPhone. I have seen some
indication on the net that this can be done.

What do you think?

Best Regards,
Gergely

Re: [xmlvm-users] Support for J2ME (MIDP) to IPhone cross compilation, commercial usage, Apple AppStore?

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

Gergely,

thank you for your interest in XMLVM. The contribution you mentioned is 
surely enough to grant you a linking exception. We focus on Android and 
iPhone, so we would prefer a contribution to the android2iphone part of 
XMLVM. I personally also believe that this is the cleaner approach.

As with any open source project, I don't know who is using XMLVM. I do 
not know of any application using XMLVM that is currently in the 
AppStore. However, I know of several applications that have been 
submitted to the AppStore for review (including our own Xokoban game). I 
will send a short message over this mailing list if I hear of any XMLVM 
success stories.

We currently do not have a commercial license. At this point the XMLVM 
core team only consists of 'geeks'. We are not opposed to offer a 
commercial license. Before we talk about money, we would need to know 
what your expectations are. One thing we can offer in return for a 
commercial license is to prioritize TODOs based on your needs. But 
perhaps you first mention more clearly what your expectations are.

Arno

[xmlvm-users] Support for J2ME (MIDP) to IPhone cross compilation, commercial usage, Apple AppStore?

[Gergely K. <ger...@ma...>]

Hi,

I found your very nice project.

We are looking into a solution to port our J2ME / BlackBerry / Android
application over to IPhone.
For Android we have a thin wrapper to provide the necessary J2ME services.
We use the following features:
- JSR-135 (Multimedia)
- JSR-170 (PIM, Filesystem access)
- Generic Connector Framework
- RecordStore
- Canvas

We plan to contribute the missing pieces of these features to the xmlvm
project. Does this kind of contribution enough to get a GPL Linking
Exception?
We have not decided yet whether we will start the J2ME MIDP support "from
scratch", or just add the missing pieces to the android2iphone library, and
use our Android port as the basis.

We would be also interested in the price of the commercial license. Our
clients might feel safer to be able to have an actual contract which grants
them the right to use the xmlvm runtime libraries.

A very important question, before we invest too much energy into this: Are
there applications already in the Apple App Store that were ported using
xmlvm? Could we get some pointers? Are there any issues that we have to
check?

Best Regards,
Gergely Kis

Update: I just checked in a change that adds XMLVM output support. So if you
don't set any target or you set the xmlvm target explicitly, XMLVM files
will be written.

You basically have two options here, but bare in mind that you need to have
OSX 10.5 in order to compile the generated Objective-C code to an
iPhone/iPod application.

This command line should generate you a Makefile along with the compiled
code. This Makefile can be used on OSX 10.5 to compile the application and
to launch it in Apples iPhone emulator. At least with the iPhone SDK 2.X
this works. I've heard Arno saying that they changed something in 3.0 so
this method is currently not working with the 3.0 SDK.

You other option is to use Xcode. You simply create an iPhone application in
Xcode, just the way you would do it when you want to code a normal iPhone
app. You then simply add all the generated files to that project and off you
go. You can run the code in Apple's simulator or you can create a package
that you can then sign and push to an iPhone.

As I said above, you definitely need OSX 10.5 for this. There is currently
now way to compile iPhone/iPod apps anywhere else to my knowledge.

iPod is not problem at all. What do you mean by without touchscreen
functions? An iPod and iPhone are no different when it comes to the
touchscreen.

First of all, plenty of JavaDoc exists, we just don't generate it yet.
JavaDoc wouldn't be so helpful as long as you just want to use XMLVM. If you
want to extend it, then JavaDoc is important. But then you can easily
generate it youself using Eclipse for example. We are aware, that there is
still plenty of JavaDoc missing and we are working on it.

Re: [xmlvm-users] Support with xmlVM

[Daniel B. <db...@gm...>]

Thanks guys, was funny but I imagine to use "--target" thanks to the help
that xmlvm command line display :)

Now thanks to your big help gave, I will try to make a helloWorld which will
hit the walls depending on the x and y origin, just to test your application
(the java-based iphone emulator).

Changing the subject, can anyone explain me how to use the code, generated
by the xmlvm, in the iphone when I compiled the class with the following:

%xmlvm% --in=holaMundo.class --target=iphone --iphone-app=holaMundo
--out="./salida/"

take into account that %xmlvm% is equal to "java -jar xmlvm.jar".

My goal is to pass the compile code to a friend and he test it in his iphone
(I don't have Iphone or Itouch in the meanwhile)

Can I use the code in a simple ipod? Of course without the wireless
connection and touchscreen functions.

I noticed that the project is not document and making use of the javadoc
functionality. Sorry for being annoying, but will you document it?, should
be a great help.

*HINT:* you should include the images of the Iphone into one of the JARs, at
the beggining I was expecting to run the helloWorld and see a pop-up screen
with the result instead of a displaying error.

You should do --target=objc, --target=js, etc. What Sascha has written 
is the old-style command line argument that we are trying to get away from.

Re: [xmlvm-users] Support with xmlVM

[Sascha H. <sa...@gm...>]

Hi Daniel,
first of all thank for reposting to the mailing list. I now closed the
forums to avoid further confusion.

To your problem: This is actually not your problem, you've done everything
absolutely right. I could go into explaining you that we are currently
rebuilding some of the XMLVM infrastructure and the new one doesn't support
XMLVM output yet, but that doesn't help you.

As you are currently building without any other options, XMLVM tries to
convert your class file into XMLVM (XML format). However, the output module
for this is not yet converted to this new infrastructure. However, this
shouldn't be a big problem and I will do this on the weekend and will let
you know.

In the meantime, you can try to specify a concrete output. For example try
adding "--objc", "--js", "--python" or "--cpp". These should work and
produce output. Let me know if this works or doesn't.

Summary: Problem compiling with java -jar xmlvm.jar

Initial Comment:
Hello,

I am new using XmlVM, I must say that is an interesting and flexible project
which I'm attracted to.

Anyway, I'm confuse about how to use it. I downloaded Java 6 update 14,
Eclipse JEE Galileo, Subeclipse, then connect to svn repository give by you
and download the whole repository, last version of Apache ant command.
Finally I "ant" the repository and get the dist directory as the
documentation says, but after this some interesting things happened. When I
run "java -jar xmlvm.jar" an error display "Error: Need at least one --in
argument"

Then in order to test the "in", "out" and "target" options. I create an
environment variable "%xmlvm%=java -jar xmlvm.jar" simulating an alias in
unix. Then I just made a class in Eclipse adding reference to the xmlvm JARs
build it and then launching the following (the class contain the same code
to iHelloWorld example):

%xmlvm% --in=holaMundo.class --out="C:/"

and got:

[07/23/09 23:53:57.906]    DEBUG: Instantiated: org.xmlvm.proc.in.

Please Could you tell me what is wrong with steps.

PS.: It is intented to build a plugin for Eclipse,isn't it? In that case I
would like to learn and collaborate with the project, if it is possible and
you allow it, which I  think that deserve a great help as many people could
take benefit from it.

Hi James,
php output is definitely possible and something we thought about in the
past. However our current focus does not include PHP at the moment. If you
would like to contribute to that, we would of course be very happy and guide
you wherever possible to make it happen.
