How can I generate XML application configuration using Zend_Tool?

Answer 1

Good Question.

You need some kind of project profile. Have a look in:

library\Zend\Tool\Project\Provider\Project.php

There is an section with an default config.

 protected function _getDefaultProfile()
    {
        $data = <<<EOS
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<projectProfile type="default" version="1.10">
    <projectDirectory>
        <projectProfileFile />
        <applicationDirectory>
            <apisDirectory enabled="false" />
            <configsDirectory>
                <applicationConfigFile type="ini" />

Last week there was an good VideoScreencast explaining how to create your own Zend Tool Providers, i think this can help.

Update:

I have checked the sourceCode, looks like the filename is not changeable.

class Zend_Tool_Project_Context_Zf_ApplicationConfigFile extends Zend_Tool_Project_Context_Filesystem_File
{

    /**
     * @var string
     */
    protected $_filesystemName = 'application.ini';

Was not able to found an method to set it to xml.
