What It Does
What it says on the tin. This program automatically generates the XML file needed to add a homebrew app to the HBC.
Newsflash!
App finally (should) work! Very embarrassing error on my part.
Why Java?
Some grimace at this. Java is quick to create UIs in and works on almost any machine.
Why at all?
Remembering XML tags is a bit like having goldfish: annoying and fruitless. That's how I feel anyway.
Note
Mac OSX users have the choice of downloading either the normal version or the brand new Mac OSX version. It's the same .jar file, but it's wrapped in a nice installer that puts it in your applications folder, creates and alias and checks that the JRE is installed.
The one interesting part of the source is the code which determines the OS of the host system and executes a command accordingly. In this case, it opens a text editor. Any beginner Java programmers may be interested in this: don't hesitate to drop me a message on my Discussion page or on the IRC (although I'm not on it most of the time).
I'd like to thank everyone for being so helpful in helping me find the very stupid mistake I made (more information on the Discussion page). Any comments/bugs/requests/ideas/rantings can be posted on the Discussion page as usual.
