is the official Xcode Plugin API published yet?
There's no public plug-in API for Xcode at this point, sorry.
Please file a bug at http://bugreport.apple.com describing what
you'd like to create with such an API.
Also, it might be worth telling the list what you'd like to do --
it's possible to do many things in Xcode by leveraging its built-in
mechanisms for build rules, script build phases and the like,
without the need to actually run in the same process and interface
with Xcode's internals.
Xcode is a great platform but it's missing the ability to run code
through an In-Circuit Emulator and In-Circuit Debugger. We're in an
embedded market and have switched to Mac OS X from Linux/Windows.
Great tools for hardware prototyping and firmware development are not
readily available. An Xcode Plugin API that would allow integration
of custom panes, menus, toolbar buttons for nuance settings required
for adding ICE, ICD, cross-compilers, cross-assemblers or various
other capabilities to Xcode. The benefit would be that code developed
for Mac OS X and embedded systems would all be done under one and the
same familiar dev tool, Xcode. Another required thing would be
bidirectional communication with Xcode from those plugins.
I'm sure most people know what ICE and ICD do, but just in case I
included this link for completeness sense:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-circuit_emulator
Although probably not the intended purpose of Xcode but it seems
fairly easy to add if a powerful Plugin API existed.
Thank you.
