[ANN] Oxygen XML Editor 4.2
by George Cristian Bina 15 Jul '04

15 Jul '04

I'm glad to let you know that we just made a new release of Oxygen, version 4.2. The full press release is included below, however I want to point out a feature that relates with a thread on the list back in January. Then we prototyped the possibility to use different transparency levels for the document view depending on how far the text is from the center of the view. That turned out not to be really useful. Now we got I hope a really useful feature out of that, please try the Contrast Control action available from the toolbar. It will apply different transparency levels on either the text content or the markup in the document. This allows focusing on either structure or markup respectively. The press release follows. Version 4.2 of <oXygen/> XML Editor adds as main feature support for presenting schema related information while editing or browsing an XML document. New in <oXygen/> XML Editor 4.2 ================================= * Schema Model View * Content completion shows schema documentation * Annotated XML schemas * Contrast control * User control over the transformation in progress * Improved search support * Breakpoint operations enhancements * Allow to define XSLT extensions locations * Ready to use JSP 1.2 XML editing support Details... * Schema Model View The Model View provides schema related information for the document elements and attributes. The content model, the element type, the attributes, the attribute type and constraints are presented in a compact manner giving the user an insight in the document schema while editing or browsing the document. XML schema annotations are extracted and presented for both element and attributes thus offering an instant help to the document author. * Content completion shows schema documentation The XML Schema documentation is presented by the new content completion support. The content completion offers now additional information for the element and attribute proposals. It will lookup the schema annotation and will make the documentation available to the author in a simple and elegant manner. * Annotated XML schemas To take advantage of the schema documentation support oXygen bundles annotated schemas for XSLT stylesheets and XML schemas. * Contrast control The contrast control options allow to change the transparency levels for markup or text. With a smart popup button located on the toolbar the user can easily change the focus of attention from markup to text and viceversa. The transparent markup option combined with locking the tags can be used for instance for safe and easy text only editing. * User control over the transformation in progress After starting a transformation a new action becomes enabled allowing the user to stop that transformation. Thus the user is in control and can decide to stop a time consuming transformation at any time. * Improved search support Support for finding all occurrences in a file was made available via the contextual menu and through a configurable shortcut. If no text is selected then the word at cursor will be automatically detected and searched for. * Breakpoint operations enhancements Added support to easily add, toggle or remove breakpoints in the Breakpoints Panel. * Allow to define XSLT extensions locations The XSLT processor's extensions paths can be specified using a system property. Please consult the user guide for details. * Ready to use JSP 1.2 XML editing support A new document template was added to allow easy creation of JSP 1.2 documents and the samples have now a JSP entry.

XSLT debugger - Xalan extension - class not found exception
by Achim Öhlenschläger 21 Jun '04

21 Jun '04

Hello, I want to try out Oxygenxml's XSLT debugging feature, but the debugger stops with a class not found exception for the Xalan extension I'm using. I did put my class files into the \eclipse\plugins\com.oxygenxml.editor_4.1_E3\lib directory, which works fine when I'm applying a transformation scenario outside of the debugger. How can I tell the debugger where my classes are? I'm using: Eclipse 3.0RC2 Oxygenxml 4.1 E3 Xalan 2.5.1 Xerces 2.4.0 Windows XP Java 1.4.2_03 Thanks, Achim

Xalan-J 2.6
by Paul Everitt 15 Jun '04

15 Jun '04

Howdy all. I'm interested in some of the newer parts of EXSLT. These appear to be supported in Xalan-J 2.6 but Oxygen 4 ships with 2.5.x. Thus: 1) Are there plans to upgrade to 2.6 during the maintenance cycle of Oxygen 4? 2) If not, can I just drop in Xalan-J 2.6, or is there some other way to get newer exslt support? --Paul

Is it possible to do a batch conversion using a transformation scenario?
by Are Gulbrandsen 27 May '04

27 May '04

Hi Last fall we did a large evaluation of HTML- and XML-editors with WebDAV-support, and sent you a feature request for secure webdav support, and we're happy that you have implemented this. I'm currently evaluating the oXygen editor, and is testing oXygen 4.0 under Mac OS X 10.3.3. I have a few questions about the transformation scenarios. I have used the xslt debugger to make an xslt stylesheet that does an XML2XML transformation. I want to convert a number of XML-documents that use a dtd to a new document structure using an XML schema. I have read the oXygen user guide, used the help system (which seems to be the same) and browsed through your mailing list archive and forum. After trying and failing a bit, the use of the transformation scenario and the use of macros is still unclear to me. I was hoping it would be possible to configure a transformation scenario to do a batch conversion, but I can't se how to do this. I hope you can tell me if this is possible, and how. Basically I want to do the following: Source files: file:/originalDocuments/*.xml XSLT: conversionRules.xsl Output: file:/convertedDocuments/${cfn}Converted.xml The use of the macro ${cfn}Converted would mean that a document with original name dok1.xml would be renamed doc1Converted.xml. Feedback and feature request: ------------------------------------------ (This is my personal feedback and feature requests, not connected to the evaluation I'm doing.) In the user guide you write that there are two types of scenarios: - applying to XML-files - applying to XSL-files It actually took a little time to figure out that the only way to change the type of scenario was to select a differt type of document as the active document. (to change between an xsl or xml document as the active document) Why not make only one "configure transformation scenario"-window which did not depend on the context? (With context I mean the dependence of the active selected document type.) To me the two types of scenarios just reflect two perspectives when working on a conversion. I think it would make much more sense to assume that for a transformation you will always need to specify the following: - a source (XML) - a transformation (XSL) - an output The source: ---------------- It should be possible to choose either an open document, a URI or a macro. It should be possible to specify a directory for batch processing of many files. The transformation -------------------------- It should be possible to choose either an open document or a URI to the XSL document. The output --------------- It should be possible to choose either - to open the resulting document in the editor - to specity a save URI - to specify a macro. It should be possible to specify an output directory and changes in filename for batch processing of many files. Best Regards, Are D.

XInclude working in beta?
by Paul Everitt 30 Apr '04

30 Apr '04

Howdy. I had an xml/xslt combo that renders correctly in 3.x but fails in 4.0 beta. I set the preference for Enable Xinclude processing, no luck. Strangely, when I used the debugger, it warned me that the namespace for XInclude needed to be changed to 2003. I did so, and still no luck. However, if I render using the *debugger*, the output window contains the right results. Stated differently, does anybody have an XML and XSLT combo of files that uses xinclude and produces correct results under the beta? --Paul

RNC-DTD problem
by LARRODE Xavier (DR&T) 27 Apr '04

27 Apr '04

Hello, i have created a XML format for a VR application and i have a problem to make the DTD of this format. I have checked the forum and seen that we have to change xsd:NCName to text, but i have another error: this is a part of the format which produces the error: <Vertices> 3 float 3 float  <Vertex> 3 float <Data Name="string" Constant="float" Vector="3 float"/>  </Vertex> </Vertices> this is the RNC after the conversion: default namespace = "" start = element Vertices { (text | element Vertex { (text | element Data { attribute Constant { text }, attribute Name { text }, attribute Vector { text } })+ })+ } When i want to convert it to DTD : error: 12.25 sorry, cannot handle this kind of "oneOrMore" But actually i don't want (text or Vertex) in my element Vertices so i change to : default namespace = "" start = element Vertices { text, element Vertex { text, element Data { attribute Constant { text }, attribute Name { text }, attribute Vector { text } } } } and now i get this error : 7.17: cannot handle this kinf of group. Any idea ? because the format is valid and well-formed Thank you Xavier

invalid tag insight
by Chris Ryland 19 Apr '04

19 Apr '04

Why, when using RNG (compact or XML) form (fully established on a document, such that pressing the "Validate" icon works fine), does the "tag insight" feature suggest elements that aren't valid in the current context? I thought that was the whole point of tag insight. Or does RNG not really work the same as a DTD or XML Schema? Cheers! --Chris Ryland / Em Software, Inc. / www.emsoftware.com

UI nit
by Chris Ryland 17 Apr '04

17 Apr '04

When oxygen (forgive me if I don't go through all the typing contortions to type <oXygen/> ;-) is not the foremost app under OS X, shouldn't the cursor stop blinking? (I realize the window is dimmed, but the blinking cursor had me fooled, and I was typing at Emacs (on another physical screen) when I thought I was typing at oxygen.) Or is that not standard HIG behavior? Cheers! --Chris Ryland / Em Software, Inc. / www.emsoftware.com

more Emacs support?
by Chris Ryland 17 Apr '04

17 Apr '04

I've already gotten some very positive feedback from the Oxygen folks about adding more Emacs support (ideally, customizable due to people's different keybindings), but who on this list would like to add their voice to mine for "deep, indulgent" Emacs key support? They already made positive noises about m-F, m-B, m-D, m-Delete for deleting and moving by words. I'm thinking of a few more things like c-U (prefix argument supplier), c-K and the first level of kill buffer behavior, etc. That'd only have to add a few basic things like that and it would be 95% of what Emacs editing does for us on a minute-by-minute basis. Any other takers? ;-) Cheers! --Chris Ryland / Em Software, Inc. / www.emsoftware.com

Instead of the Emacs-like asterisk after the "buffer name" in the editor, how about putting a little Mac OS-like black dot in the colored bubble before the name? It'd be easier to see, in some funny way. Cheers! --Chris Ryland / Em Software, Inc. / www.emsoftware.com

WebDAV question

When I click on "Save", oXygen returns : "400 Bad Request "sylvain@plone.ffii.org:9674/ffii/events/2004/ljub04/ index_html"" In the "Open an URL" dialog I entered my login, my password and selected the file on the WebDAV.

Initial thoughts on the 4.0 beta
by Paul Everitt 09 Apr '04

09 Apr '04

Howdy all. Just a quick note to say that 4.0 looks really exciting! I started with the XSLT debugging and found the UI layout really innovative and intuitive. Setting a breakpoint and running to it was pretty simple. Other debuggers have a local variable section that let you navigate the current context. At first I expected something similar, meaning, the current node would appear and I could browse it. However, the oxygen approach is better: it's already showing you the XML document, so it scrolls the current node into view and highlights it. I then defined a couple of variables and set a breakpoint. This worked as expected. Finally, defined a variable that matched on multiple nodes: <xsl:variable name="c" select="//company|//person"/> In the breakpoint window, I selected the variable, then in the right window, I saw all the elements that matched. That's nice! I also tested DAV with Zope 2 and Plone. Worked ok. Renaming a folder failed, so I need to put in tcpwatch and see what happened. --Paul

oXygen 4.0 beta
by George Cristian Bina 08 Apr '04

08 Apr '04

Hi, As you know oXygen 4.0 will add as main feature an XSLT debugger. We have available a beta version of the all platforms distribution. Please download it from: http://www.oxygenxml.com/update/oxygenAll4.0B.tar.gz and use the following license: =================== Registration_Name=Betatester Company=Syncro Soft Ltd. Category=Professional Component=XML-Editor, XSLT-Debugger Version=4, 4 Number_of_Licenses=1 Date=04-07-2004 Duration=31 SGN=MC0CFQCCP1yEBWUtQvAMpD8y1AdTlt1IUwIUWegwL8YgkkCyzke84q+a5PMYc2o\= =================== Below there is a list of the debugger features. Along with these features there are also a lot of improvements in the editor part but they are not extracted yet from bugzilla. XSLTDebugger features: * Support for Saxon and Xalan XSLT engines. * Stepping capabilities: step in, step over, step out, run, run to cursor, run to end, pause, stop. * Breakpoints on both source and style documents. * Call stack view on both source and style documents. * Trace history on both source and style documents. * Support for XPath expression evaluation during debugging. * Step into imported/included stylesheets as well as included source entities. * Available template and hit count. * Variables view. * Dynamic output generation. Details: * Support for Saxon and Xalan XSLT engines. The debugger supports both Saxon 6.5.3 and Xalan 2.5.1 engines. * Stepping capabilities. Step in: goes to the next stylesheet node. (next step in transformation) Step over: skip the next stylesheet node (including its sub-elements). The debugger will stop on the next sibling element. Step out: steps out to the next sibling of the stylesheet parent node. If this not exists,steps out to the next node at the same level as the parent, or higher. Run: run the debug transformation run until either an enabled breakpoint is encountered (in source or stylesheet) or the end of transformation occurs. Run to cursor: run the transformation until the execution reach the line on which the cursor is currently in. Run to end: run the transformation till end, without taking into account any enabled breakpoint which might be set. Pause: interrupt the current transformation. This is useful for long transformation (Docbook like) when you want to find out in what point the transformation is. The transformation can be resumed after. Stop: end immediately the transformation process. * Breakpoints on both source and style documents. You can set breakpoints both on xml or xsl documents iterated by the transformation. * Call stack view on both source and style documents. At any point during debugging, you can see the current stack for both stylesheet and source elements. * Trace history on both source and styleasheet documents. During debugging you get the full trace history of transformation on both source or stylesheet documents. * Support for XPath expression evaluation during debugging. You can evaluate XPath expression during debugging by defining watch expressions. The debugger will update its value during stepping. (the expression are evaluated in the current context). * Step into imported/included stylesheets as well as included source entities. Once a xml entity or an imported/included stylesheet is about to be used by the transformation, you will get access to it in order to see were the current step is. * Available template and hit count. You get a list with all templates used during transformation and their correspondent number of hits. * Variables and parameters view. The debugger list all variables and parameters together with their scope and actual value. * Dynamic output generation. The output is generated dynamically during the stylesheet execution All the best, George ------------------------------------------------------------- George Cristian Bina mailto:george@oxygenxml.com <oXygen/> XML Editor - http://www.oxygenxml.com/
