Tools

Objective-J and Cappuccino have a number of tools that can help you develop, debug, and deploy. You can get these tools by either building them from source, or by just downloading the “latest stable releases”:"http://cappuccino.org/download. Below are some brief descriptions and links to more detailed documentation:

• capp allows you to create Cappuccino projects
• nib2cib is a tool for converting Interface Builder nibs and xibs to Cappuccino’s own cib format.
• objj lets you run Objective-J right on the command line, either interactively or loaded from a file.
• bake and press make the process of compressing your code and deploying easy.
• objjc can “compile” Objective-J code down to JavaScript. You will rarely use it directly yourself but it is used by many of the optimizing tools like steam.
• ojunit is our in house testing tool
• steam (Deprecated) allows you to create Cappuccino projects, and then build and optimize them for better performance.

The Tools Package also includes editing modules for the following text editors:

• Coda
• SubEthaEdit
• TextMate
• Vim

Note that while TextMate, Coda, and SubEthaEdit now have built-in support for Objective-J, you should probably keep up to date with the version on our download page to not miss out on any updates.
