Setting up Java Packages in XCode
I has a few source classes belonging to a package
and I had trouble figuring out how to set up the physical folder structure on
the hard drive and the group structure in XCode so that XCode would not change
its mind about where it expected the java files every time I tried to build the
app. Ray Kiddy
had the know how .......... here is a transcript ........

OK, VexCode is freaking me out today. (I

Anyway, I have a few java classes and
they are in a package
package wk.demography;
No matter where I put the darn files,
XCode freaks out upon building that it cannot find them.
What is the standard way to structure
directories in an XCode project for packages and how to add them to the project
with the confusing XCode groups?
Thanks, Kieran

It
is a bit inelegant, but I try not to fight this fight with
Xcode.
Try this. In your project
directory, create the "wk/demography"
directories.
Then add a group in the
Xcode G&F (Groups & Files) view. Name it "wk". Then go into the
inspector for the group and set the path to the wk directory. Then, inside that
group, create a new group named "demography". Then go into its inspector and
change its path to the demography directory. Then put your sources in that
group.
The only awkward thing about using
the yellow-folder references in this way is setting them up. After they are set
up, one does not have to worry about them
again.
We could talk about using
blue-folder references to do this, but let's
not.
