This plugin installs an external Saxon 10.9 XSLT & XQuery processor into <oXygen/>. You will be able to validate and transform XSLT/XQuery with Saxon 10.9.

Note: Debugging XSLT/XQuery transformations based on this engine is NOT supported.

XQuery Validation

After installing the plugin, there are two possiblities to use Saxon 10.9 for validating XQuery:

1. To set Saxon 10.9 as the default XQuery validation engine, go to XQuery Preferences and select Saxon-EE XQuery 10.9 (External) as the validation engine..
2. If you prefer to use Saxon 10.9 just for some specific stylesheets, then you should create either a Validation Scenario or a Transformation Scenario that uses Saxon-EE XQuery 10.9 (External) as the engine and associate it with whichever stylesheet you like.

XQuery Transformation

Create a Transformation Scenario that uses Saxon-EE XQuery 10.9 (External) as the engine and associate it with the XQuery file.

Performing Transformations with Data Extracted from a Database

This plugin will allow you to perform transformations with data extracted from a database, but there are a few changes you will have to make to use this:

1. Add a copy of the database connector that is compatible with your database in [OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR]/lib/ or in [PLUGIN_INSTALL_LOCATION]/lib/ (you can go to Options->Preferences->Plugins to see where the plugin is installed).
2. Restart the application.

3. Run the transformation scenario.

   If this does not work, try the following:

   1. Create a transformation scenario (see sections above) and click the Extensions button.
   2. Added the database connector that is compatible with your database.
   3. Add saxon-sql-10.jar that is located in [PLUGIN_INSTALL_LOCATION]/lib/ (you can go to Options->Preferences->Plugins to see where the plugin is installed).
   4. Run the transformation scenario.
