by George Cristian Bina 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

Hi, A new version of oXygen is almost ready. A beta version is now available for tests from http://oxygenxml.com/download_oxygenxml_editor_beta.html If you have a valid maintenance pack then the beta version will work with your existing license key, otherwise please use the test license key included below [1]. Version 13 introduces of a new product called oXygen XML Developer that gathers the development features of oXygen (similar with how the oXygen XML Author gathers the authoring features). oXygen XML Editor represents the union of oXygen XML Author and oXygen XML Developer. Some of the new features in oXygen 13 are highlighted below: *Eclipse 3.7* - The latest version of Eclipse is supported *Results* - Validation results, search results, etc. all benefit from a new tree-table viewer that allows grouping and sorting - Validation results contain additional information related with the performed operation that is very useful when multiple or batch actions are performed to correctly relate a message with the operation that generated it *XInclude* - Specialized action that allows to browse and select the content to be included, generating automatically the corresponding XInclude instruction *XML Databases* - Copy resources with drag and drop operations from the Datasource Explorer, even between different databases *CSS* - oXygen specific CSS profile for creating and validating CSS files for oXygen XML Author - CSS profiles covering the browser extensions - The content completion support offers the browser extensions and the oXygen extensions and functions - Many new CSS oXygen functions were added, especially for supporting mathematical operations *JSON* - A JSON editor - Conversion between JSON and XML *Editor variables* - New editor variables are available - Editor variables can be used also in defining code templates and author actions *Author* - An "Edit reference" action allows to quickly edit referred content, rendered as read-only in Author, by opening the - Folding management actions allowing to collapse child folds or all other folds and to expand all folds or child folds - Some of the Author actions, like the highlighting actions, bold, italic and underline, were implemented as toggle actions, if the selected content is already highlighted then the highlight element are removed - A "Count Words" action allows to get the number of words from a document or from the current selection *DITA* - oXygen includes the DITA OT 1.5.3 final release - Search references action automatically finds references in all the topics from a DITA Map - The DITA check for completeness action allows to specify multiple filter (ditaval) files and performs the validation against each of them - The content completion presents values specified in a subject scheme map *TEI* - Built in transformations from TEI to EPUB, DOCX and ODT - Built in transformations from OOXML and ODF to TEI - Updated stylesheets and schemas *EPUB* - CSS files to present NCX, OCF and OPF files in Author (visual editing) mode - Default validation scenarios for NCX, OCF and OPF files [1] Test license key for version 13 beta ------START-LICENSE-KEY------ Registration_Name=oXygen beta tests Company= Category=Enterprise Component=XML-Editor, XSLT-Debugger, Saxon-SA Version=13 Number_of_Licenses=1 Date=08-18-2011 Trial=31 SGN=MCwCFAr9oT0uZsUreXQEMgyenXBiE0OPAhRy+Kn9jg5eiRfxNGmplROVaqalnQ\=\= -------END-LICENSE-KEY------- Best Regards, George -- George Cristian Bina <oXygen/> XML Editor, Schema Editor and XSLT Editor/Debugger http://www.oxygenxml.com

Problems in Ant transform, xslt task and manually specified TransformerFactory
by Jirka Kosek 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

Hi, I have Ant build file which works perfectly outside oXygen. For various reasons both Saxon9 and Saxon6 has to be called during the build process, so xslt task always specifies which transformer to use using factory: <xslt ...> <factory name="net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl"> <attribute name="http://saxon.sf.net/feature/xinclude-aware" value="true"/> </factory> <classpath location="${saxon9.jar}"/> </xslt> or <xslt ...> <factory name="com.icl.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl"/> <classpath> <pathelement location="${saxon.jar}"/> </classpath> </xslt> Problem is that in oXygen (12.2, Windows/Linux) such Ant task produces the following error message: BUILD FAILED .....\build.xml:126: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.icl.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl I suppose that's because oXygen uses special classloader. Do you have any idea how to overcome this issue? I need to run same Ant script from oXygen and standalone as well.

Read from database?
by Roderik Dernison 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

Hi, I'm trying to write a plugin to select data from a popup screen. This works - more or less - for static data. But when I try (with Spring and Hibernate) to read from a database the popup screen doesn't show up. The first thing I tried was to make a connection in Oxygen and my data is shown there. How can I insert data from my database into my (Dita) document?

You should start with the example code from the Author Developer Guide which is also included in the Author SDK as a PDF document: http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-oxygen/topics/dg-java-api.html http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-oxygen/tasks/dg-configuring-actions-menus-t… The Java source code of the built-in actions displayed in Author mode on the toolbar and the contextual menu of the DITA editor is located in the Author SDK in the folder samples/Oxygen Default Frameworks/src/ro/sync/ecss/extensions/dita Please look at the classes ro.sync.ecss.extensions.dita.topic.InsertImageOperation and ro.sync.ecss.extensions.dita.topic.table.InsertTableOperation which require entering data in a dialog box.

Hello, A Selection Plugin should be used for processing the selected text in the Text editing mode of an editor of type XML (XML files, XSL files, XSD files, etc). If you want to copy the data from a MySQL table to a DITA document you can display the table contents in Oxygen by browsing the database contents in the Data Source Explorer view, right clicking on the table name and selecting the Edit action from the popup menu. This action will display the table in a new Oxygen view as in the following example from the User Manual: http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-oxygen/topics/relational-table-explorer.html Just select and copy the data from the table and paste it in the DITA document opened in Oxygen. Is this what you want to do? If you want in fact to customize Author editing mode for editing DITA documents in order to display a popup screen for the user with some data extracted from the MySQL database you should write an Author extension by using the Author API which is available in the Author SDK. There are many examples including the Java source code of Author actions in the SDK: http://www.oxygenxml.com/InstData/Editor/Developer/oxygenAuthorSDK.zip http://www.oxygenxml.com/developer.html#XML_Editor_Authoring_SDK If you want to go this route please let us know if you have problems with the Author API or you get unexplained errors in your Author extension code.

Directory does not exist error.
by Loreti, Wendy 10 Aug '11

Hi there. I'm getting this error, and I'm not sure what lib directory it's looking for or where to set this. I inherited this project from someone else, so it's possible she had things configured differently.

Variable names stops working
by Jostein Austvik Jacobsen 06 Aug '11

06 Aug '11

I'm having some (really weird) trouble, and unfortunately I'm unable to reproduce it on other computers, but here's a short pipeline: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <p:pipeline xmlns:p="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc" version="1.0"> <p:variable name="daisy-dir" select="'daisy-dir'"/> <p:variable name="other-dir" select="'other-dir'"/> <p:add-attribute match="/*" attribute-name="daisy-dir"> <p:with-option name="attribute-value" select="$daisy-dir"/> <p:input port="source"> <p:inline> <doc/> </p:inline> </p:input> </p:add-attribute> <p:add-attribute match="/*" attribute-name="other-dir"> <p:with-option name="attribute-value" select="$other-dir"/> </p:add-attribute> </p:pipeline> You'd expect to get: <doc daisy-dir="daisy-dir" other-dir="other-dir"/> But on my computer with <oXygen/> XML Editor 12.2, build 2011051714 on Ubuntu 11.04, I get: <doc daisy-dir="" other-dir="other-dir"/> This only happens in oXygen on my Ubuntu though, not if I run calabash from the command line in Ubuntu or oXygen in Windows; so I don't know how to reproduce the problem on other computers. If I rename the variable from "daisy-dir" to something else, it works. So for some reason, the oXygen installation is ignoring variables that are called "daisy-dir" all of a sudden... I changed it to "input-dir" and it worked for a while, but after a few minutes, oXygen started ignoring variables with that name as well. Doing a "find | xargs grep -i daisy 2>/dev/null" in the oxygen directory gives no relevant hits, so I'm not sure how to debug this further... Is there any logfiles I can provide? I have a hunch that it may have to do with variables and options having the same name across files/steps (example below), and how that's stored internally in either oxygen or calabash, but I'm really not sure. I do this in the pipeline I'm trying to run, but when the option name stops working - it stops working in all pipelines. <p:variable name="input-dir" select="'something'"/> ... <p:with-option name="input-dir" select="$input-dir"/> Regards Jostein
