This is a fork of opencollab/giws repo. (After commit 97a5e4a ) I am very stupid for python, my only change is to make it run with Python 3. I hope it will be helpful for some of you.

GIWS is basically the opposite of SWIG.

When SWIG generates wrappers to call C/C++ functions/methods from other languages, GIWS creates wrapper for those who wants to call Java methods from C/C++.

GIWS is widely used in Scilab (from version 5.0) to drive the rendering and the GUI.

The best way to understand how to use GIWS is to read the examples

Code using C++ generated files examples/*/main.cpp

XML declaration files: examples//.xml

./giws -h to see the help

Options :

-o / --output-dir=

-f / --description-file= : Specify the declaration file to use

-p / --per-package : Creates a file per package instead of a file per object

-e / --throws-exception-on-error: Throws a C++ exception instead of an exit(EXIT_FAILURE)

--header-extension-file : Specify the extension of the header file generated [Default : .hxx]

--body-extension-file : Specify the extension of the body file generated [Default : .cpp]

-v / --version : Displays the version and other information

-h / --help : Displays the help

Obviously, as GIWS has been written in Python, it needs the Python interpretor to work. And that's it !
