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 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.

Re: [xmlvm-users] Support with xmlVM

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

a little clarification to Sascha's message:

> and produce output. Let me know if this works or doesn't.

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.

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

Oh yes, thanks Arno. I was looking at the wrong file. I added
a Deprecation to the old arguments file now :)

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.

*PS.:* excuse my English, I'm improving it.
*PS.:* I will try to make a plugin to eclipse in order to use your project.
(Just to learn how to make a plugin and who knows if that helps the users)

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.

It's absolutely fine, no worries! :)

What would this plugin do?

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

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.
