Oh, where to begin?
First of all, take note of Michael Shimmins’ answer; you’ll need Xcode to do the program. While his answer mentions Java, I would avoid that, and go for Objective-C.
As for the application itself, it all depends on how you want to edit the XML; some more information would be great on this point.
If you want a text-editor style XML editor, you should probably start with a simple Document-Based Cocoa Application; and put in an
NSTextView, and see where you can go from there; if, on the other hand, you want a tree-based editor; you’ll need to have a look atNSOutlineViewandNSXMLDocument, part of theNSXMLbits of Cocoa.Then you’ll need to design your application, program it, test it, and finally, if applicable, release it.
