I have created a "java tool" application using xcode. Now it is being
hooked up to some other application via RMI. The trouble is that RMI
requires, (or at any rate this particular implementation requires),
"stub files." The idea is that some source code file, say X.java, will
be compiled to X.class, which will then serve as input to some rmi
command which in turn produces something of the form X_stub.class. I
thought I could do this by adding a "shell script build phase" to
execute the rmi command.
But therein lies the trouble. Much of the *real* build process is not
exposed through the xcode gui, at least not in "Groups & Files" under
the "Targets" bulls-eye. No matter where I position my new build
phase within the exposed sequence, it is in the wrong place. Either it
is too early to catch the X.class emitted by the usual java compiler,
or it is too late to submit its own X_stub.class output to the jar
building phase.
I can round out the whole process with another jar building phase, but
this is a truly ugly and time-wasting solution. Alas, you cannot
insert or append to a jar file (unlike a tar file, which interestingly
enough will append to everything but "quarter-inch tape", whatever that
could be.)
Where is the *real* description of the build phases and how can I get
at it to edit it? Hopefully it is in some kind of scripting language.
The other application was developed with JBuilder, which somehow just
intuits what to do. Does Xcode have any ability along these lines?
