XmlToolbar, cooler than milk.
If there is one thing writing software for a living has tought me, it is that a problem does not exist where XML wasn't (at least) part of the solution. Aspects of Cocoa development are no different, in fact, as wth property lists, Apple has already started finding unnecessary places to use XML.Therefore, I am happy to introduce XmlToolbar! XmlToolbar is a little project I showed off a bit in my flickr stream, but haven't found the time to clean up and release. While I am well aware of the recent enhancements to the developer tools in Leopard that make building toolbars easier than previously, I still think XmlToolbar has a good niche to fill. XmlToolbar is basically a simple parser that generates NSToolbar objects and attaches them to NSWindows at runtime, straight from an XML file! Like I said, cooler than milk (and about as exciting). When toolbar items are clicked, a specified notification (also from aforementioned XML file) will be posted allowing the underlying Cocoa code to handle the event properly.
The project is public domain, as I don't feel like bothering with a silly license this time around. In addition to public domain, it is in bleep's new anonymous subversion repository, hosted by GeekISP.
More details can be found on the XmlToolbar wiki page including subversion checkout instructions and other downloadable goodies.
