XML Editor

When creating a transformation scenario, the XSLT Parameters dialog box is automatically populated with the parameters detected from the stylesheet.

An action, show definition, is available when editing an XML Schema or a Relax NG schema file. By hovering the cursor over a component that references another one, it opens the corresponding schema file and moves the cursor to the location that defines the schema component.

The information presented in the schema diagrams can be edited in place. Just double-click on an element name, for instance, and you will be able to edit it directly in the diagram.

Added the possibility to save diagram images starting from the current selection from the schema diagram. The format for the images can be JPEG and PNG.

The content completion support was enhanced by showing the annotations extracted from the Relax NG schema associated with the edited document. There are presented annotations for the elements, attributes and attribute values. The Relax NG schema for Relax NG was annotated with descriptions from Eric van der Vlist RELAX NG book to offer instant help when editing Relax NG schemas.

Allows editing the attributes of the current element in a table view. It displays both the attributes previously entered in the element and the possible attributes. Entering an attribute is as easy as double-clicking in its value column. For attributes with enumeration values a combo box will appear in the values column allowing to choose one of the possible values.

If the edited document does not have a reference to an XML Schema or a DTD and contains an internal DTD, it will be used for the Content Completion Assistant.

It was possible to specify an XML Schema or other type of schema to be used for content completion assistance when the document does not explicitly state one. The same mechanism is also used for validation. The association between an instance and a schema may be done using rules based on root element namespace, root element name and file name. The rules can be managed from the Content Completion Assistant/Default option pane.

A line is painted in the left side of the editor showing the range of the XML element that contains the cursor position.

When converting schemas that are referencing other schema parts the schema conversion tool will also try to use the catalog to resolve those parts.

When using catalogs for solving references to XML Schemas, DTDs or other resources, it is sometimes useful to see what catalog files are parsed, if they are valid or not, and what identifiers are resolved by the catalogs. An option has been added in the XML Catalog option pane to control the output of such messages.

The bookmarks are now associated with the current project and are persistent between editing sessions. They are preserved even when the edited XML source is formatted by a format and indent operation.

The latest Xerces XML parser from the Apache Foundation was integrated into Oxygen.

The latest Saxon XSLT 1.0 Transformer was integrated into Oxygen.

The NekoHTML importer version 0.9.5 from the Apache Foundation was integrated into Oxygen.

Oxygen now contains the latest schemas for TEI: P5 2006-10. The XSL stylesheets were also updated to version 5.4.18.

It is possible to sign documents using a DSA algorithm.

Several problems regarding the preservation of whitespaces were fixed, both for elements that specified the xml:space attribute and for elements that contained only whitespaces.

The batch validation was contributed as a pop-up menu offering validation on multiple files and validation against an external schema for multiple files. It can be triggered, for instance, from the Navigator view and it is applied on the current Navigator-detected files.
