XmlToolbar

This is what happens if I have free time.

Introduction

The XmlToolbar project is a simple means of dynamically (i.e. at runtime) generating an NSToolbar for a specific window directly from an XML file. This project is in its infancy, and currently relies on NSNotifications to relay toolbar actions to the underlying Cocoa. The project is very open to suggestions, and we are happy to incorporate patches as necessary. I know about the impending fixes to Interface Builder in Leopard, but I feel there are plenty of other uses for lightweight and dynamic interface generation in this manner.

Licensing

The original author of XmlToolbar has dedicated the code to the public domain. Anyone is free to copy, modify, publish, use, compile, sell, or distribute the original XmlToolbar code, either in source code form or as a compiled binary, for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial, and by any means.

Contributed Code

In order to keep XmlToolbar completely free and unencumbered by copyright, other contributors to the XmlToolbar code base are asked to likewise dedicate their contributions to the public domain. If you want to send a patch or enhancement for possible inclusion in the XmlToolbar source tree, please accompany the patch with the following statement:

We make this dedication for the benefit of the public at large and to the detriment of our heirs and successors.

We will certainly attribute your contributions, but we would like this project to remain as free as possible.
