XML Editor

The latest version (9.1.0.3) of the commercial Schema Aware Saxon-SA processor from Saxonica comes bundled in all Oxygen editions. You have access from within Oxygen without any additional cost to advanced features such as Schema Aware XSLT 2.0 and XQuery. The XML Schema information improves the error reporting and increases the performance due to better optimizations of the XSLT and XQuery code.

Schema-aware stylesheets and XQuery code can be debugged using the powerful Oxygen XML debugger. You can use schema-aware XPath 2.0 to set conditional breakpoints or to evaluate expressions in the current execution context. You can also easily spot performance issues taking advantage of the integrated XSLT and XQuery profiler.

The XPath query tool bar and XPath Builder view were also updated to support XPath 2.0 schema-aware queries.

You can use the Saxon-SA schema processor to validate your XML Schema files and to validate XML documents against XML Schemas. As Saxon implements some of the XML Schema 1.1 features, you can experiment with working with additions in XML Schema 1.1 (assertions, conditional type assignment, etc.)

The Content Completion Assistant displays the global types, elements, attributes or groups defined in the included or imported XML Schemas together with the ones defined in the current schema. This helps to make references to components defined in other schema documents.

The Content Completion Assistant displays the template modes or names, variables, parameters, etc., defined in the included or imported XSLT stylesheets together with the ones defined in the currently edited XSLT stylesheet.

The DITA content references are passed trough the current XML Catalogs thus you can put references to remote resources and map them to local copies through the XML Catalogs.

The url() function now accepts multiple arguments. This provides more flexibility in defining links in the Author mode.

The Mark Logic database support including the XQuery debugger was updated to work with MarkLogic 4.0.

The Oracle database support was updated to work with Oracle 11g R1.

The SQL Server database support was updated to work with SQL Server 2008.

The DB2 database support was updated to work with DB2 9.5 (Viper 2).

The XHive database support was updated to work with XHive 8.

When you install the Intel XML Software Suite in Oxygen you can choose to have all the XPath 1.0 queries from the XPath query tool bar or from the XPath Builder view of the XML editor evaluated using the Intel XML Software Suite XPath engine.

You can use the Intel XML Software Suite for performing XML document validations against DTDs.

Starting with SVN 1.5 the revision at which a branch is merged is remembered. This is useful for the next merge operation when only the changes committed to the branch after the previous merge operation are considered.

Sometimes not all the files and subdirectories of a repository are needed in a working copy. In these cases only the needed subdirectories and files can be checked out from the repository by selecting one of the following checkout depths for a directory: recursive, immediate children, file children only, this folder only.

The action "Update to revision" is available in the Working Copy view. It allows updating the resources selected in the working copy to a specified revision from the repository. The depth of the update operation on the folders can be selected from the values allowed by SVN 1.5 sparse checkout.

A merge wizard was added to perform complex merge operations easier. Three types of merging are available: merge revision ranges, reintegrate a branch and merge two different trees. Advanced merge options can also be set.

The Open with action works on multiple file selection and is available in the Working Copy view, Synchronize view, and Repository view.

A side view of Oxygen XML Editor is available listing all the defined transformation scenarios. This allows to quickly invoke a series of scenarios and also to easily manage the scenarios, adding new scenarios, deleting or editing existing ones.

This allows a closer integration of external processors (external XML validators or external XSLT processors). If the processor output follows the format documented in the Oxygen XML Editor User Manual then that processor messages will be presented similar with the built-in processor messages For example, it is possible to have location information and to just click on a message to open the file it references, and highlight a specified line and column.

it is now possible to process the results you get in Oxygen in an XML form, as documented in the Oxygen User Manual.
