Upgrading Oxygen XML Developer Eclipse plugin on macOS

When you install a new version of Oxygen XML Developer Eclipse plugin, first you need to remove or rename the old installation directory. By renaming the directory, it can coexist with the new installation and the following data will be preserved:

• All the files from the old install directory will be preserved, including any modification in framework files, XSLT stylesheets, XML Catalogs, and templates. However, these modifications will not be automatically imported into the new installation.
• All global user preferences are preserved in the new version.
• All project preferences will be preserved in their project files.
• Any custom frameworks that were stored outside the installation directory (as configured in Document type associations > Locations) will be preserved and will be found by the new installation.

1. Uninstall the current version of Oxygen XML Developer Eclipse plugin or rename the installation directory.
2. Download and install the new version in an empty folder according to the instructions for your platform and the type of installer you selected.
3. Restart Oxygen XML Developer Eclipse plugin.
4. If you are upgrading from a minor version to a major version (for example, from 16.1 to 17.0) and you did not purchase a Maintenance Pack that covers the new major version, you will need to enter a new license for the new version into the registration dialog box that is displayed when the plugin is started.
