XML Editor

Many of the XML Schema and DTD-related errors are reported with accurate location information. For instance, an error referencing to the invalid value of an attribute will highlight exactly that value in the text.

Selecting a result of an XPath query highlights the XML source region corresponding exactly to the result element.

The initial directory of the File Open dialog box can be either the directory of the last opened file or the directory of the current edited file.

This action allows you to insert an xml-stylesheet processing instruction in the current XML document to associate it with an XSLT stylesheet. Many of the web browsers have XSLT support and can perform the XSLT transformation and display the result.

This action opens the current document with the application configured as default browser.

You can associate the edited document with an XML Schema or Relax NG schema having embedded Schematron rules in one step.

This option is useful when you are editing files originating from different operating systems and you need to preserve their line separator.

The transformation scenarios can be stored in the project file. This simplifies the scenario management by attaching only the relevant scenarios to a project. Furthermore, you can pass over to your teammates a set of pre-configured project scenarios.

The edited XQuery or XSL file is validated using the engine specified in the transformation scenario. If no transformation scenario is defined then the default validation engine from the options is used.

An option was added to the transformation scenario to allow opening the transformation result in Oxygen.

Oxygen helps editing complex XPath expressions by presenting a tooltip with the function signature above the function name and highlighting the current argument. This support is available when editing expressions in the XPath Toolbar and the XPath Builder, and also when editing XSL stylesheets and XQuery files.

The SVN Client automatically checks the status of the selected resource allowing you to immediately commit or update it.

You can compare side by side different revisions of image files.

You can create patches in the unified diff format between two revisions or between your working copy and a revision.

You can choose to hide from the Working Copy file browser the files that are ignored or scheduled for deletion.

You can edit Namespace-based Validation Dispatching Language scripts taking advantage of continuous validation support and context-sensitive content completion assistance.

Oxygen has built-in, ready-to-use NVDL support. It includes oNVDL - an NVDL implementation, allowing the validation of XML documents against NVDL scripts. The support includes validation on demand, continuous validation, validation with external schema, and batch validation from the project.

The Content Completion Assistant is able to use an NVDL script to offer proposals. This makes it possible to edit documents with complex structures that contain multiple languages defined by different schemas (for instance, XHTML with embedded XForms).

It is possible to locate in the source the definition of a component presented in the logical diagram. This action is available in the contextual menu or by double-clicking the diagram component.

You can change the Oxygen schema editing layout by choosing to hide or to show the schema diagram and the Schema Components view.

The Xerces-J XML parser was updated to the latest version: 2.8.1.

Saxon 8B XSLT/XQuery processor was updated to the latest version: 8.8. Oxygen supports also the Saxon8SA 8.8 processor (that requires a separate license from Saxonica).

The DocBook 5.0 RELAX NG schemas were added to the Oxygen distribution.

Oxygen contains the latest schemas for TEI: P4 2004-07 and P5 2006-10. The TEI XSL stylesheets were also updated to version 5.4.18.

Oxygen can browse, open and save documents using the Secure FTP (SFTP) protocol.

The XML Instance Generator tool can be started directly from the XML Schema diagram with preconfigured parameters, based on the selected element.
