oXygen and Java Input Methods for Unicode
by Ken Beesley 19 Jan '06

19 Jan '06

Beginner question: RE: oXygen and Java Input Methods for Unicode Goal: I want to type Unicode chars in oXygen buffers using standard Java Input Methods, installed in the Java Extension directory(ies) Experiments so far: 1. I downloaded a 30-day trial version of oXygen (for Linux) and it appears to be working. The executable is installed in ~/oxygen/oxygen7.0 wherein, if I understand things, the oXygen application is launched with this command: "$app_java_home/bin/java" -client -Dinstall4j.jvmDir="$app_java_home" -Dinstall4j.appDir="$app_home" -Dexe4j.moduleName="$prg_dir/$prg" "-Xmx180m" $INSTALL4J_ADD_VM_PARAMS -classpath "$local_classpath" com.install4j.runtime.Launcher launch ro.sync.exml.Oxygen true false "$prg_dir/error.log" "" true true false "SplashScreen.gif" false true 418 281 "" 20 20 "Arial" "0,0,0" 8 500 "" 20 40 "Arial" "0,0,0" 8 500 -1 "$@" oXygen is a Java application, and (from the documentation) it claims to be Unicode-savvy. However, I haven't yet been able to get oXygen to respond to my Linux Java Input Method "hotkey" and allow me to select an active input from from the installed Java Input Methods. 2. I have personal Java Input Methods (that work with other Java applications like jEdit) in /home/beesley/java/input-methods/lib, and I modified the launching command in oxygen7.0 to include a -Djava.ext.dirs flag thus: "$app_java_home/bin/java" -client -Dinstall4j.jvmDir="$app_java_home" -Dinstall4j.appDir="$app_home" -Djava.ext.dirs="$app_java_home/jre/lib/ext:/home/beesley/java/input-methods/lib" -Dexe4j.moduleName="$prg_dir/$prg" "-Xmx180m" $INSTALL4J_ADD_VM_PARAMS -classpath "$local_classpath" com.install4j.runtime.Launcher launch ro.sync.exml.Oxygen true false "$prg_dir/error.log" "" true true false "SplashScreen.gif" false true 418 281 "" 20 20 "Arial" "0,0,0" 8 500 "" 20 40 "Arial" "0,0,0" 8 500 -1 "$@" That should tell the application to consult the normal Extensions directory for the installation and my personal directory for extensions, including Java Input Methods. My Java Input Method "hotkey" on Linux is defined as F12, and it works with other Java applications (like jEdit). But with oXygen, pressing F12 does not bring up a Java Input Method selection window. **************** What am I missing? Thanks, Ken

Apparent shortage of editing accelerators or shortcut keys
by Richard MAHONEY 13 Jan '06

13 Jan '06

Readers, I'm evaluating the Java version of <oXygen/> 6.2.1 on Solaris 10 (SunOS Release 5.10 Version Generic_118844-27 64-bit). The editor is being used for TEI P5 and I'm pleased with the ease with which it formats and transforms the code. The file I am currently working on has over 8000 `id's. Outlining shows no signs of sluggishness. Compared to Emacs, everything just seems to work. There is little need for much customisation or configuration. One thing, though, that I am having trouble with is the apparent shortage of editing accelerators or shortcut keys. I've searched the documentation: http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-standalone-en/configuring-the-editor.html#m… but cannot find any editing accelerators except the standard Copy, Cut, Paste, Redo, Select All, and Undo. What I need, in particular, are accelerators to mark or select units of text in preparation for further operations (copying, cutting &c.) e.g.: select-word select-paragraph select-sentence set-select-start set-select-end At present, I'm using the mouse for all of these functions. Still, I would find it more convenient, and definitely quicker, to be able to use the keyboard. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

newbie question -- how to set up Oxygen for DITA?
by James Oldham 12 Jan '06

12 Jan '06

I am a "newbie" in many ways (more than I know, I'm sure), but/and I want to set up Oxygen to edit and validate DITA files. I'm guessing that it's possible; I'm hoping that it's simple. Can anyone point me to a document that would get me halfway there (or further)? Please and thanks, James Oldham

[ANN] oXygen XML Editor 7.0 beta
by George Cristian Bina 06 Jan '06

06 Jan '06

Hi everybody, I'm glad to let you know that oXygen 7 reached a beta status. We made a number of important changes since version 6.2 and I will try to summarize them below. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support and to wish you Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Please let us know if you encounter any issues. The release is planned for the beginning of 2006. The oXygen beta 7 distributions are available from http://www.oxygenxml.com/download-beta.html You will also need a license key for version 7, you can find that here: --- start license key --- Registration_Name=oXygen version 7 beta user Company= Category=Professional Component=XML-Editor, XSLT-Debugger Version=7, 7 Number_of_Licenses=1 Date=12-21-2005 Duration=31 SGN=MCwCFEjLw7CJDM17s9NLdBPmJLWGtR5jAhRZdlpud98LczECHQlvWBS94eZwCw\=\= --- end license key --- ================== New in oXygen version 7 ================== Validation ======= * Continuous validation The document validation is performed when the document is changed. The current error is presented in an editor auto-hideable status bar. * Error markers and overview ruler The errors, including the ones generated by the continuous validation are marked in place by underlining the error location. The locations are also marked in an overview ruler that allows quick navigation between the error markers. * Support for caching when validating against schemas By default the validate action will cache the parsed schemas. There is also a "Reset cache and validate" action provided to allow revalidation in development environments when the schema is changed. * Support for multiple external validation engines (like LIBXML, XSV, SaxonSA, MSXML4.0, MSXML .NET, SQC). * Support for ignoring the DTD for validation if other schema is specified Now it is possible to use the DTD for entities support only with any schema type (in version 6.2 this was possible only with XML schema). * Support for DTDs for external validation It is possible to validate against a DTD even if the DTD is not specified inside the document. * Support for associating DTDs for validation using the external schema association In version 6.2 the external associated DTDs were used only for content completion. Now they are used also for validation. * Support for CSS validation Different CSS profiles are supported like CSS2, CSS3, etc. and different media types like Braille or screen for instance. XPath ===== * XPath context sensitive content completion When editing an XPath value oXygen offers the available elements, attributes, functions, axes, variables, etc. in that context. The context is computed taken into account all the ancestors that can change the context. * Support for XPath default namespace For XPath 2.0 queries the XPath default namespace can be configured/automatically detected and used to write XPath queries. * XPath execution in the context of the current element The XPath expressions are evaluated from the current element so relative expression can be evaluated in different contexts. XSLT ==== * XSLT Input View Presents the tree structure of the XML document set as input for the current stylesheet in the associated transformation scenario. Elements and attributes from this view can be inserted in different XSLT constructs by dragging them from the XSLT Input View in the XSLT editor. * Search References for XSLT This search is performed for any XSLT component that has references, like variables, functions, named templates, attribute sets, etc. The search scope can be the current file, the project, all the imported/included files starting from the current file or from a specified file. * Search Declarations for XSLT This search is performed for any XSLT component that has declarations, like variables, functions, named templates, attribute sets, etc. The search scope can be the current file, the project, all the imported/included files starting from the current file or from a specified file. * Search Occurrences for XSLT This provides a quick retrieval of all the declarations and references of a component in the current file. * XSLT Refactoring: Rename Occurrences This allows renaming XSLT components like variables, templates, functions, etc. The user is fully in control of the changes as the modified files are presented in a diff view that allows viewing all the changes that will be done before performing them. The scope can be the current file, the project, all the imported/included files starting from the current file or from a specified file. * XSLT Refactoring: Create stylesheet from selection The selection will be placed in a new stylesheet that will be included in the current stylesheet. * XSLT Refactoring: Create template from selection The selection will be placed in a named template and will be replaced with a call-template instruction. The variables and parameters used inside the selection will be passed as template parameters. * Apply the transformation scenarios for multiple files in one action From the project panel it is possible to select multiple files and apply their associated transformation scenarios on each one. * Apply a specified transformation scenario on a set of files From the project panel a set of files can be selected then a transformation scenario will be selected and applied on each of the selected files. * Allow configuring the XSLT transformer options through oXygen preferences Processor specific options for Saxon, XSLTProc, MSXML and MSXML.NET can be configured through the oXygen preferences. * Support the System.Xml 2.0 transformer The .NET 2.0 framework transformer can be used now from oXygen. * Support for the latest version of Saxon 8 Saxon 8.6.1 from Saxonica (http://www.saxonica.com) is now supported. XQuery ===== * XQuery Debugger Full debugging support similar with the XSLT Debugger. * XQuery Profiler Profiling support similar with the XSLT profiling support. Schema editors =========== * Zoom support for diagrams The diagrams can be made smaller or larger depending on the zoom settings. * Schema Components View The schema components were moved from the schema editor in a dockable view called Schema Components View. Content completion ============== * Support for showing recent content items The proposals that are actually used by the user are promoted at the top of the content completion list thus making their reuse easy. * Handling of namespace prefixes The namespace prefixes are presented first in the list of proposals for elements, thus making editing really easy for documents that use prefixes for elements. * Support for learning words You need to turn this on as it is disabled by default. All the words in the document will be indexed and when you write a prefix followed by CTRL+Space the words starting with that prefix are presented through the content completion window. * Present #ID URI fragments for anyURI attribute values When an attribute value is of type anyURI (in both XML Schema and Relax NG schema) oXygen will present proposals of the form #ID for each defined ID value in the document. * Look for type annotations if the elements or attributes do not have annotations When editing documents against an XML Schema oXygen will look as deep as needed in the type hierarchy for an element type or an attribute type if the respective element or attribute do not have an annotation and will present the first encountered annotation next to the content completion proposal. * The content completion presents element values when using a relax NG schema The element values support on content completion was extended to work also when the document is edited against a Relax NG schema. * Support for presenting the xsi:nil attribute for nillable elements If an element is defined as nillable in the associated XML Schema oXygen presents the xsi:nill attribute through the content completion for possible attributes for that element. * Improved content completion for CSS The content completion provides now property values for each property. GUI === * Dockable editors Not only the views can be moved around the interface but also the editors can be arranged as you need inside the editing area. * Split editor in two It is possible to have two editors on the same file side by side so you can edit a different location in a file while looking at some other location in the same file in the other editor. * The find dialog is not modal The Find dialog allows now going to the editor while it is still open and then allows resuming the search. * Configurable GUI fonts It is possible to specify the fonts to be used not only for editor but also for GUI text components and for the other GUI components. This allows having a user friendly and accessible application even on configurations with a very small dpi (like my notebook for instance :). * All the result views allow both table and tree layouts The information presented in the results view (like the errors after a validation action for instance) can be presented either in a table layout or in a tree layout that groups the messages by system ID. Also support for removing the selected items or all the items in a view is provided. * Close icons for the editor tabs Editor tabs can be easily closed not only with a middle click but also using the X close icon that appears in each editor tab. * System icons are used for files that are not handled by oXygen Instead of showing an unknown icon oXygen shows the system icons thus it is easy to identify for instance a PDF file in the project panel. * Model View supports wrapping The element models were in general very large for complex schemas and that made the Model View show an horizontal scroll bar and the model information was always out of sight. Now by wrapping the model the information is always visible. * Folding support for JavaScript and CSS The folding is based on curly braces. Others ===== * Allow different element colors depending on prefix This allows for instance to have the XSLT elements in a different color than the result elements, or the XML schema elements different from the elements used inside annotations. * Automatic insertion of ending quotes or apostrophes If a starting quote or apostrophe is entered the ending quote are, respectively apostrophe is automatically inserted. * Image Preview View Images can be viewed in oXygen. It supports GIF, JPG, PNG, BMP and SVG images. * Information View Shows some messages with what happens under the scene, for instance when a validation is performed it informs what file against what schema was validated. * Properties View Shows information about the current editor like: filename, encoding, number of characters, indent size, etc. * Open a file with a user specified editor No matter to what editor a file is associated in editor it can be opened with a specified oXygen editor using the project panel contextual "Open As" action. * Spell-checking corrections on a mis-spelled word When a word is identified as mis-spelled by the spelling as you type support and is highlighted on the screen on the contextual menu there are presented now the possible correct replacements of that word. * Support xml:id to define XInclude shorthand pointers for included document fragments that do not use DTDs. * Extract XML Schema from a database structure This can be done either when importing data from a database or directly by selecting the database tables. * More Select actions on the contextual menu Two more select actions were added: select parent and select attributes. * Support for floating license over internet (not only on a local network) There is available a license server that can be installed. The floating license keys can be dropped there and the applications can be directed to the license server to get a license from. * Support for custom protocol plugin It will be possible to write a plugin for handling a custom protocol, for instance one can have a plugin to handle the cvs protocol thus providing support in oXygen to access files on a CVS server.

Oxygen 7 beta
by Christian Wittern 05 Jan '06

05 Jan '06

Hi there, I have used the oXygen 7 beta now for a couple of days and can only say it is just wonderful. The instant validation for example, that works even for XQuery is just wonderful and amazingly smart. Really good work! I also encountered a few little quirks, though. For example, occasionally the editor window will split into two and there is no obvious way to get it back to single window view (I guess this is just a documentation issue). Another problem I had is that whenever I try to preview SVG files, I get a nullpointer exception. Is there some configuration I missed? Anyway, keep up the good work, I am looking forward to the release of this version! Christian Wittern, Kyoto
