I would like to make some handy extensions to the ObjC language and I'm wondering if it's possible to write an XCode plug-in that does some extra preprocessing to implement my slightly extended ObjC language.

I've searched the documentation, and from what I've found it does not appear to be possible. But the documentation was fairly sparse on XCode plug-ins so I thought I would ask here to be sure.

If not by a plug-in, would it be possible to do this with a shell script?

It would be a shame if it wasn't possible to do this in a nice way somehow, perhaps someone can point me in the right direction?

i did and am doing something like this in project builder -- i'm sure it's much the same in xcode. you can use a shell script or any type of command line style tool and put its path into a new first build phase so it gets called when the project is built. i don't think plug-ins are possible though. i found i needed a post process phase also, to put things back where and how they were.

(you haven't by any chance come across an objective-c parser have you? something that splits up obj-c source in a grammar aware manor?)
