Hi everybody, I am happy to announce that a new major release of oXygen XML Editor, version 16 is available from our website: http://www.oxygenxml.com As an important change, starting with this version, we decided to offer our SDK as a public Maven repository. It is easier now to create a startup project by using the oxygen-sdk-samples-archetype, directly from your IDE of choice. In this Maven project you will find sample modules for: - Implementing XML framework extensions - Sample plugins for the oXygen standalone distribution - Usage of the Author Component as an applet - Usage of the Author as a WebApp with HTML5 frontend Please register and read on our website how to create a startup project from the command line or from the Eclipse IDE: http://www.oxygenxml.com/oxygen_sdk_maven.html So please give us your opinion on this change. Our Maven repository also has early access to the "XML Author WebApp", a 100% XHTML5+Javascript based solution for in-browser reviewing of XML content either on mobile or on desktop devices. The solution needs a special server-side component installed in a J2EE container server like Tomcat. As usual we added a lot of Java-based API: http://www.oxygenxml.com/whatisnew16.0.html#16.0_API For example I consider quite useful the API "PluginWorkspace.importGlobalOptions(File)" which will allow you to force the application to load a set of options from an options XML document. Our Plugins SDK contains a sample plugin which uses this new API. We also added the possibility to extend a document type/framework configuration and have that extension automatically evolve as the base document type evolves from one Oxygen version to another. For example you can extend the DITA document type and make changes to it but still benefit of the new improvements Oxygen adds in each new release.
