XProject plugin for oXygen
by Florent Georges 03 May '12

03 May '12

Hi, I have just release a new plugin for the oXygen XML IDE, in order to support XProject, the XML Project Manager tool. More infos on the XProject page at http://expath.org/modules/xproject/. XProject (loosly) defines a directory structure for an XML project: my-project/ src/ ... xproject/ project.xml The subdir src/ has whatever structure you want for your XML files, XSLT stylesheets, XQuery modules, XProc pipelines, resource files, and everything that is part of your project. The subdir xproject/ contains meta informations about your project. E.g. project.xml contains its name and version number, as well as several processors configuration for unit-testing purposes. Based on conventions for the components filename (i.e. *.xsl for stylesheets, *.xql for XQuery library modules, *.xq, *.xqy or *.xquery for XQuery main modules, etc.) it detects them in src/, and based on annotations in those files, it generates automatically a package descriptor and create the package for you. You can also generate a "delivery file" that contains the package, a README file, examples and source code. Or automatically launch unit- tests using XSpec. Or generate documentation for your XQuery modules using xquerydoc. Every dependency is already included in the plugin. To install, download the file xproject-oxygen-plugin-0.3.0.zip from: http://code.google.com/p/expath-pkg/downloads/list and unzip it in your oXygen install dir, in the subdir plugins/ (or copy the dir xproject/ which is at the root of the ZIP file into <your-oxygen>/plugins/). The next time you start oXygen, you will have 4 more buttons in the toolbar, named "Build", "Test", "Doc" and "Release". While editing any file within your project directory, you can click one of those buttons to execute the corresponding XProject target. "Build" creates a new package in dist/ based on src/, "Test" run the XSpec tests in test/ and place the reports in the same dir (see the sample project in the ZIP to see how to configure your processors and XML databases to run the tests), "Doc" places the XQuery documentation in dist/xqdoc/, and "Release" creates a new delivery file in dist/. The packages created by "Build" can be installed automatically in any EXPath Packaging System-compliant system. Any feedback, help, request for improvement is welcome! In particular, I would like to know how I can help a user creating a new project from within oXygen (e.g. by displaying a form to fill in the basic info like its name, version, etc. and create the project structure, and possibly by creating an Author mode for the project.xml files). Enjoy! -- Florent Georges http://fgeorges.org/ http://h2oconsulting.be/

XInclude and WebDAV
by Jens Østergaard Petersen 14 Mar '12

14 Mar '12

Hi, On the eXist mailing list, an issue with XInlude and the oXygen Data Source Explorer has been discussed which has not found a solution. It is described in a ticket - the ticket has been closed since the problem was not regarded as relating to eXist. <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3422989&group_id=17691&atid…> The problem is that when a document containing an XInclude is opened through the Data Source Explorer from an eXist database, the XInclude is expanded in oXygen and becomes a static part of the including document. The whole idea behind XIncludes is therefore lost. Best, Jens

MarkLogic (XQuery 3) %private functions not showing in outline
by David Lee 01 Mar '12

I noticed today the outline view is not showing private functions. Is this an option I can change ? Example: declare %private function mine:function($config ) as xs:string does not show in the outline view but declare function mine:function($config ) as xs:string does show Any way to get the private functions to show ---------------------------------------- David A.

Master Files vs Main Files
by Octavian Nadolu 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

Hello, We want to add a new concept in <oXygen/> consisting in a new type of folder in the Project view where the user can add the files that must be validated and transformed for the current project. The folder must contain only the main/master modules. For example, if you have a project that contains the XHTML 1.1 schemas you need to add only the main module "xhtml11.xsd" in this folder. If you have a DITA project you need to add in this folder the dita maps that must be transformed. What name do you think will describe better this concept, "Master Files" or "Main Files"? Do you have other suggestions? Regards, Octavian -- Octavian Nadolu <oXygen/> XML Editor http://www.oxygenxml.com

Correct XPath expression to get title nexted in xhtml <span>'s
by McGibbney, Lewis John 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

Hi, Whilst working on xhtml --> xml xslt I've run into a blocker when trying to specify the XPath expression to get a title embedded within nested xhtml <span>'s. A snippet from the body of my xhtml is below: <body> <a name="gen01" id="gen01"></a><div id="content"> <div id="page1" class="page css-gen1"> <div style="width:150pt;height:12pt;left:34pt;top:33pt"> <div style="top:9pt"> <span class="css-gen2"> <span>domestic | general | application | 2010</span> </span> </div> </div> <div style="width:65pt;height:61pt;left:34pt;top:69pt"> <div style="top:11pt"> <span class="css-gen3"> <span class="css-gen4">Application</span> </span> </div> ... And so far my xsl looks like <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xd="http://www.oxygenxml.com/ns/doc/xsl" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:ukm="http://www.legislation.gov.uk/namespaces/metadata" xmlns:ukl="http://www.legislation.gov.uk/namespaces/legislation" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1" xmlns:dct="http://purl.org/dc/terms" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org2005/Atom" xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.legislation.gov.uk/namespaces/legislation http://www.legislation.gov.uk/schema/schemaLegislationBase-v1-0.xsd" xml:base="http://www.legislation.gov.uk/id/ssi/2011/120" exclude-result-prefixes="xs xd" version="2.0" > <xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/> <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/> <xd:doc scope="stylesheet"> <xd:desc> <xd:p><xd:b>Created on:</xd:b> Feb 21, 2012</xd:p> <xd:p><xd:b>Author:</xd:b> lewismc</xd:p> <xd:p></xd:p> </xd:desc> </xd:doc> <xsl:template match="/"> <Legislation> <xsl:apply-templates select="html:html"/> </Legislation> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="html:html/html:body"> <Secondary> <Body DocumentURI="" IdURI="" NumberOfProvisions=""> <P1group> <Title> <xsl:value-of select="html:a/html:div/html:div/html:div/html:span/html:span"/> </Title> I know this looks ridiculous, (I've tried many XPath combinations) so apologies in advance for anyone that either laughing or crying whilst viewing this. Basically, I would like to get as output <Secondary> <Body NumberOfProvisions="" IdURI="" DocumentURI=""> <P1group> <Title>domestic | general | application | 2010</Title> Anyone that could give me a pointer would make me very happy.

Document type & framework: external storage
by Florent Georges 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

Hi, In the Document Type dialog, if you choose external storage, oXygen still requires to have the framework file as being a descendant of the oXygen's frmework dir (see enclosed screenshot). Is it really the intended behaviour? Regards, -- Florent Georges http://fgeorges.org/ http://h2oconsulting.be/

Plugin config, plugin dir, and API
by Florent Georges 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

Hi, I am investigating a bit with writing plugins for oXygen. I am at the point where I'd like to be able to configure it. I can of course write my own config file format and read it explicitely, but I guess that something similar already exists (like e.g. configuring simple key/value pairs in plugin.xml et read them through an API from the plugin SDK). Is there anything like that? My second (related) question is: how can we get the plugin dir via the API? And how to resolve resources in that dir? Congrats for the SDK! Starting a new plugin is very easy! (even though I still have to investigate more deeply the APIs :-p) Regards, -- Florent Georges http://fgeorges.org/ http://h2oconsulting.be/

Enabling/disabling plugins
by Florent Georges 25 Feb '12

25 Feb '12

Hi, While working on plugins, I miss the ability to be able to enabling or disabling specific plugins. I maybe missed something, but as far as I see, once a plugin is installed in oXygen plugins dir, the only way to disable it is to delete the plugin dir. This is a bit radical. If there is no such possibility, it would probably be worth adding a flag in the Plugins section in the config panel. The ideal would be to not need a restart, but having to restart is not cricial for the final user. Although using the config panel is convenient, being able to enable/ disable a plugin in its plugin.xml would be ok I guess (e.g. by adding a new boolean attribute /plugin/@enabled).

Re: [oXygen-user] Problems with trivial xhtml --> xml xslt

Hi John: It is namespace issue. Notice your HTML instance has a namespace declaration. Add the following namespace to your xsl:stylesheet declaration: xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" Use the html: prefix to grab the title and you should be good to go. <xsl:value-of select="html:html/html:head/html:title" /> Good luck!
