Abstract

This paper proposes a plug-in for ConfigTool. ConfigTool is a XML editor that generates .c and .h files using XML, XML Schema and XSL files. The tool is used by software developers to configure the generic code. The software developers need to write the XML, XML Schema and XSL files that configure the generic code. For this they need to have at least medium knowledge of XML, XML Schema and XSL technologies. The Automatic Configurator can generate these files using much less input information than the XML, XML Schema and XSL files themselves. The application uses its own script which allows the developer to define the configurable data and the way it wants to use the data. The script used by the tool is much easier and faster to learn and use than the XML [1], XML Schema [2] and XSL [3] technologies. The tool was used by software developers and it is proved that it increases the quality of the configured code by eliminating consistency errors and it minimizes the time used for code configuration.
