JSON error.

Hi! i just updated to the latest version of vendor, and when i try to install a new library, it throws me this error

raul$ vendor install
Unknown format specifier: json
plutil: [command_option] [other_options] file...
The file '-' means stdin
Command options are (-lint is the default):
 -help      show this message and exit
 -lint      check the property list files for syntax errors
 -convert fmt   rewrite property list files in format
        fmt is one of: xml1 binary1
There are some additional optional arguments:
 -s     be silent on success
 -o path    specify alternate file path name for result;
        the -o option is used with -convert, and is only
        useful with one file argument (last file overwrites);
        the path '-' means stdout
 -e extension   specify alternate extension for converted files
 --     specifies that all further arguments are file names

Hrm, thats crazy. Do you still get this issue?

[burtlo]

@rayh noticed this with Xcoder and said there was some issue with systems not having the JSON output from that command-line option. He changed Xcoder to use the XML output so this should be more universal for pre-Lion systems.

[burtlo]

plutil -convert xml1 -o - PROJECTFILENAME is the new mojo and should work pre-Lion.

[rayh]

We then use the plush gem to convert it into a hash that just happens to be the same format as using the -o json flag:

Was this issue solved with xcoder 0.1.9?
