It seems that connections to XML databases are saved as part of the overall <oXygen/> configuration. I would prefer if connections could also be project-specific since: - Multiple people work on the project, and it would be simpler if everybody didn't have to setup the connection individually. - The project already includes xcc.jar, so it would be simpler if <oXygen/> could locate the jar relative to the project file (since different people will have the project at different locations on their machines). - This particular database connection is only relevant to one project.

Hello, Oxygen does not allow you to save at project level some user preferences that are platform dependent. For example the installation paths for the library files or driver files of databases are usually platform dependent. Also the password that is set for the user name of the database connection is encrypted with an algorithm that uses a machine dependent key. The key is machine dependent for avoiding security problems caused by copying the user preferences to other machine by an unauthorized user. The same would be true if the database connection is stored in an Oxygen project. Regards, Sorin Tony Graham wrote:
