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).
