Part Four: Last post about plugins for a bit. Did a prebuild plugin that called a shell as its tool, jumped out of the sandbox, discovered packageManger.build, got back in the sandbox!

Part Three: Build Plugins Continued! Completing the small CodeGen exercise. Honestly some of my favorite parts were looking into what Schemas actually are after finally really needing to do what I consider command line work in Xcode, and doing stupid environment tricks to watch my build plugin rerun. What can I say, I'm easily amused.

Part Two: Getting started on a BUILD plugin this time. From ‘package int’ to running the tool on package excluded files. There's a part II to the part 2 coming for the actual code generation part! At 607 lines long I figured that was enough for one post.
