XMLVM: Anyone tried using it? Having trouble.

[wrldwzrd89]

http://www.xmlvm.org/ is the web site for XMLVM. It's basically a cross-compiler for interpreted languages, but it can do a bunch of other stuff too - like create an iPhone app from a Java application, or convert Java apps to .NET executables, or even .NET to Python. Cool, huh?

Acquiring it is a bit of a pain: You have to make sure you have the Java JDK 6 or newer installed, along with Xcode and the corresponding command-line tools. Once those things are installed, do this in Terminal:

1. cd to the place you want the XMLVM project to live
2. Issue this command to get or update XMLVM: svn co https://xmlvm.svn.sourceforge.net/sv...vm/trunk/xmlvm
3. To build xmlvm, first cd xmlvm (to go to the xmlvm subdirectory the previous command created) then issue this command to perform the build: ant
4. Then, build the demos: ant demos
5. Finally, issue this command to install what you've just built: sudo ant install

If you're using Java 7 like I am, Ant may issue a bunch of warnings about Java versions. These are harmless, and don't impact the ability to use the built code. Anyway... once that's done, I then try to run the xmlvm command as follows:

xmlvm --in=/Users/miniwrld/Development/IDEs/Eclipse/Java/7/Games/LaserTank/LaserTank/bin --out=/Users/miniwrld/Development/IDEs/Eclipse/Python/LaserTank --resource=/Users/miniwrld/Development/IDEs/Eclipse/Java/7/Games/LaserTank/LaserTank/bin/com/puttysoftware/lasertank/resources/ --deps=/Users/miniwrld/Development/IDEs/Eclipse/Java/7/Games/LaserTank/CommonDialogs/bin,/Users/miniwrld/Development/IDEs/Eclipse/Java/7/Games/LaserTank/ErrorLogger/bin,/Users/miniwrld/Development/IDEs/Eclipse/Java/7/Games/LaserTank/Help/bin,/Users/miniwrld/Development/IDEs/Eclipse/Java/7/Games/LaserTank/Images/bin,/Users/miniwrld/Development/IDEs/Eclipse/Java/7/Games/LaserTank/LLDS/bin,/Users/miniwrld/Development/IDEs/Eclipse/Java/7/Games/LaserTank/Media/bin,/Users/miniwrld/Development/IDEs/Eclipse/Java/7/Games/LaserTank/OSVersionCheck/bin,/Users/miniwrld/Development/IDEs/Eclipse/Java/7/Games/LaserTank/PicturePicker/bin,/Users/miniwrld/Development/IDEs/Eclipse/Java/7/Games/LaserTank/Platform/bin,/Users/miniwrld/Development/IDEs/Eclipse/Java/7/Games/LaserTank/RandomRange/bin,/Users/miniwrld/Development/IDEs/Eclipse/Java/7/Games/LaserTank/ScoreManager/bin,/Users/miniwrld/Development/IDEs/Eclipse/Java/7/Games/LaserTank/Updater/bin,/Users/miniwrld/Development/IDEs/Eclipse/Java/7/Games/LaserTank/XIO/bin --target=posix

It spits out a ton of warnings about resource files, then this:

I tried Googling this error message, and searching the mailing lists. No dice.
