PList Compiler is a property list compiler for Xcode, Apple's development environment. It lets you build localized and non-localized plist files from plc and ploc source files.
PList Compiler is a script that you execute as a Shell Script Build Phase within your Xcode project and which takes care of generating automatically the property list files for your packaged applications, bundles, frameworks, plugins, etc.
PList Compiler is both a free software and an Open Source project.
It is modelled on the CodeWarrior property list language: the idea of preparing source files and compiling them during the build Process was introduced in CW Pro 8. It lets you have the property list files be automatically generated for you by the PLC compiler, substituting the right values during the building process, instead of having to manage manually hard-coded XML files. The Pro 8 version of CodeWarrior introduced a first draft of the plc language together with a dedicated compiler written by Josef W. Wankerl. Unfortunately Xcode (as of version 2.1) does not offer such a handy tool... (drumrolls) here comes
PList Compiler!
