= Objects =


* classRepresentation/	
	Python objects matching the Java declarations are stored.
* datatypes/
	Python objects matching the datatype (provides the different method, type declaration ...)
* configGiws.py
	Specifies default values
* giws
	Manages arguments, help and version info
* licenseWrapper.py
	Provides the license information for the generated code
* parseXMLEngine.py
	Parse the XML
* CXXFile.py 
	Contains the intelligence about the C++ generation
* JNIFrameWork.py
	Contains the intelligence about the JNI code
* outputWriter.py
	The file writer

= Steps =

GIWS is working in a few step.

1. Load/Parse the XML file
2. Build in the memory the "tree" of
	* Package
	* Objects
	* Methods
	* Parameters
	* Return types
	* Datatypes
3. Generate the C++ header file
4. Generate the call of Java methods from C++ using JNI



= Design patterns =
The design pattern Factory is used to instantiate the different kind of data
that we are managing.
This object is called : dataFactoryGiws and can be called as :

myFactory=dataFactoryGiws()
myData=myFactory.create("int")
