Version 3.2.1

Introduction

This version is direct from fxvcl.sourceforge.net. It includes

• XVCL Processor
• XVCL Workbench
• XVCL Ant Task

XVCL Processor

In many cases, it is no longer necessary to use a CDATA section to include non-XVCL tags. Tags that are not recognized by XVCL are now emitted as text.

 Usage: java -jar xvcl.jar -[B|L|N|T|V] SPC

         - B: Beautify output files
         - L: Log generated files
         - T: Include trace information in output files
         - V: Run processor in validate only mode (non-writing)

XVCL Workbench

This is an Eclipse plug-in. It requires

• JDK 1.5, or higher
• Eclipse 3.1, or higher

XVCL Ant Task

The classname is

 edu.xvcl.core.util.XVCLAntTask

Defining the xvcl task:

 <taskdef name="xvcl" classname="edu.xvcl.core.util.XVCLAntTask">
   <classpath>
     <pathelement location="build/extract/edu.xvcl.core_3.2.1"/>
     <fileset dir="build/extract/edu.xvcl.core_3.2.1/lib">
       <include name="*.jar"/>
     </fileset>
     <fileset file="build/extract/edu.xvcl.core_3.2.1/xvcl.jar"/>
   </classpath>
 </taskdef>

For more information, see also Xvcl And Ant Task.

XVCL Processor 3.2.1 (2a)

This version is enhanced by cjos.sourceforge.net.

• Source code generated by XVCL.
  • JAVA_5 (JDK 5.0), or
  • JAVA_4 (JDK 1.4.2).

• xvcl_plugin.xml is a resource inside cjos-xvcl-3.2.1.jar.

 Package: gchii.tools.xvcl2a

This version is direct from fxvcl.sourceforge.net.

What is the difference between version 3.2.1 and 3.5.0?

Changes to adapt command

The src attribute is part of the adapt command. When src="yes", an x-frame is processed without interpreting XVCL commands.

• Source code generated by XVCL.
  • JAVA_5 (JDK 5.0), or
  • JAVA_4 (JDK 1.4.2).
