XCos: custom menu entries

[Maarten Meijer]

Hello,

I am currently working on C-code generation for embedded hardware 
purposes. For convenient user-interaction, it would be nice to include 
an additional menu-entrie for the specific code generation.

I found this post 
http://mailinglists.scilab.org/XCOS-custom-menu-entries-td2611325.html#a2611329, 
where a developer experienced the same problem. Here, it turns out that 
you could either redirect the original code generation or add an 
additional menu-entry within the Xcos java project.

I have choosen for the latter solution, and I tried to compile the XCos 
jar-file by means of the guide found on 
http://wiki.scilab.org/ScilabWithinEclipse. However, it seems that 
Eclipse is missing multiple variables used in the build.incl.xml file. 
Is it possible that, before compiling the java-source files, it is 
necessary to compile the complete Scilab project?

As an alternative, I have in the past been able to generate the Xcos 
library (scilab 5.2.2) by customizing the build.incl.xml file. Here, I 
manually added the thirdparty libraries as well as the Scilab Gui 
modules libraries to the Xcos project.

In order to be compatible to the different (new) Xcos versions, I will 
chose that java compilation method which will save me the most time (in 
the future). Given that background information, what would you propose?

Any help would be very welcome.

Best regards,
