Re: Building plugins & apps simultaneously

I have a simple solution for this. I create a symlink where the plug-in
should be that points to the one in the Builds/ directory:

cd Builds/MyApp.app/Contents/PlugIns/
ln -s ../../../MyPlugIn.bundle MyPlugIn.bundle

Of course, you'll have to recreate it each time you clean MyApp, but
otherwise, it works nicely for incremental builds of the plug-in or the
app. Its even faster as no copy is performed!
