save to URL give 405 not allowed
by Tara Athan 16 Mar '11

16 Mar '11

I have some schema posted on my (bluehost) website under public_html. If I try to use oxygen to edit these files directly, I can open them, and make changes in the GUI, but then when I click Save (or Save to URL) I get the Error 405 not allowed. It could be something about the way the host server is set up, which I have little control over. But I have been able to directly edit files on this website from other programs (in particular PSPad). My current workaround is to maintain a local copy and upload using Filezilla. Any suggestions? Tara

Expand the comparison window
by O'Donnell, Dan 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

Sorry for asking what I am sure is a dumb question: in the svn client, is there a way of unpinning the comparison window or making it full screen? In Linux Gnome, at any rate, it seems to bump into stops that prevent it expanding and I don't see any way of making it bigger. I thought there used to be an unpinning button or similar? -dan

[BUG] line-length
by Reaves, Timothy 09 Mar '11

09 Mar '11

I am working with SVG images, and XSLT. When i open an SVG, the editor tells me that the file contains long lines that may impact performance, and when it opens the file, it wraps the lines. This is a defect. I do not want the lines wrapped, and have Line Wrap disabled in preferences. As an aside, what does the length of th line have to do with oXygen and its performance? Thanks.

JDBC SqlServer Help
by Karl Stubsjoen 06 Mar '11

06 Mar '11

I am trying to connect to an instance of SqlServer 2008 R2 on my local system. They connection fails with: names instance XXXXXXXXX has failed. Error: java.netSocketTimeoutException...... In researching this, I am discovering that I might need to get Sql Browser service to run (which is proving to be difficult). Is this a necessary step? Is it this difficult? I'm attempting to generate a schema from an existing database structure. Karl..

Detecting the oXygen license type
by Michael Anthony Smith 04 Mar '11

04 Mar '11

We wish to provide an oXygen plugin whose licensing mirrors that of the oXygen license types. Therefore, it would be useful if our plugin could discover which of the oXygen license types it host was using; this license type could then be checked for consistency with the plugin's license.

Turning off cache?
by Tara Athan 04 Mar '11

04 Mar '11

I am working on a Relax NG schema which will be converted automatically to XSD and documentation generated in oXygen. During development I am constantly modifying the Relax NG, validating and then performing the conversion to XSD and generating the documentation to see how it looks. I find that the validation and other steps are frequently behind regarding the modifications of modules, presumably because there is some caching going on. It's a royal pain - I have to delete the old xsd and documentation to get it to clear the cache ( I have tried selecting "clear cache and validate" on the main module, but it doesn't do the trick). Is there anyway to just turn off the caching? I have looked through the preferences menu, but I can't find this option. Thanks, Tara

Plugin testing.
by Michael Anthony Smith 04 Mar '11

04 Mar '11

Our plugin is now nearing 'feature' completion, and I am in the process of automating the manual testing. This is reasonably straightforward for those aspects of the plugin that are independent of the oXygen API, as these can be run through our TestNG framework. I was wondering if anybody had some suggestions for how to automate tests involving the use of the oXygen API (and GUI components). For example is there a mechanism to simulate the selection of windows, menu items, button presses, etc in oXygen, that could be provided as an argument to a command-line invocation? Any suggestions welcome.

Feedback on experimental plugin features.
by Michael Anthony Smith 04 Mar '11

04 Mar '11

I have now made use of four of the experimental oXygen plugin workspace API options (on a Mac running OS X - Snow Leopard) : (1) getOptionsStorage - This has a straightforaward interface, which worked as expected. (2) createNewEditor - This was slightly more awkward to use in our plugin's context (more details below). (3) getEntityResolver - Works as expected (thanks). (4) getURIResolver - Appears to works as expected (but currently, not tested). I have managed to get the 'createNewEditor' API call to create a fresh document that is considered to be modified, using the following code: Writer writer = new StringWriter(); ... // Write to the string. ... URL url= workspace.createNewEditor("xml", "text/xml", writer.toString()); WSEditor ed=workspace.getEditorAccess(url, StandalonePluginWorkspace.MAIN_EDITING_AREA); ed.setModified(true); Observations: (1) This approach may be problematic for big documents, as the whole document is stored in a string. (2) The created document is not marked as modified. There are at least two ways of addressing the first of these points. One approach is to create a small blank document that is then overridden using the WSEditod's realoadContent(Reader). Here, the question I had was: what is the minimal XML document that can be overridden (and get the right document type association - e.g. DITA)? It might be that oXygen could automatically create such a document from the first two arguments of the createNewEditor method. A second approach could be to replace the third argument of the createNewEditor method with a java.io.Reader argument, such as is used when reloading a document into an existing WSEditor (editor.reloadContent(reader)). Overall, I am pleased with these experimental enhancements.

Cli guide using DITA
by Surya Prabha Vallae 25 Feb '11

25 Feb '11

Hi, I am writing a cli guide using dita and oxygen. When I generate the pdf of the cli guide, I see that: 1. Contents for the cli book are not generated. The cli guide has only bookmarks. 2. The cli page is flushed right leaving a large vertical empty column on the right of each page. From the looks I understand that this is part of the rendering style for a cli guide. But is there a way to change this? Because my content is overflowing to the right and some part of it is not even visible. Can some one help? Thanks in advance. Surya.

Grid/Author/Design tabs gray
by Lee, David 24 Feb '11

24 Feb '11

Oxygen 12.1 I'm re-animating my use of Oxygen and want to use the Design mode for XML and Schemas. I cant figure out how to turn them on ! When I load an XML or an XSD file it shows in "Text" mode, and the tabs at the bottom "Grid" , "Design" , "Author" stay gray. Any suggestions on how I can enable these ? ---------------------------------------- David A.
