    Older versions of WOBuilder generated a plist API file. The new version
    can read the plist file and when you save, it converts to XML. Of course
    I am on Windows and don't use the WO Windows development tools. On the
    MAC there is also a tool (Property List Editor) that ships with WO that
    edits plists and can convert to XML. Is there a Windows app that can
    convert plist to XML?

    I have _no_ idea where that is from. Here is what it should look like:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <wodefinitions>
         <wo wocomponentcontent="false" class="BuildNote.java">
                 <binding name="buildNote"/>

               <validation message="&amp;apos; buildNote&amp;apos; is a
    required binding">
                        <unbound name="buildNote"/>
                </validation>

         </wo>
    </wodefinitions>
