This is an automatically synchronized tree-based Outline view. The document tree structure is presented as the document is edited. The modified element is revealed and selected in the Outline view. Also, an element can be selected in the editing window by clicking on the corresponding node in the Outline view. It uses a robust parser thus being able to handle correctly not well formed documents.

XML Perspective and Project Support

From the dialog box for creating new Eclipse projects, you can choose the type "XML Project". This will change the perspective to oXygen XML Perspective, allows you to easily access oXygen actions, and helps to organize your XML files.

XSLT/XQuery Debugger Perspectives

oXygen adds two debugger perspectives to the Eclipse IDE providing a special layout that shows the source and the stylesheet/xquery documents side by side as well as the results and special debugging views (Context, Call Stack, Trace History, XPath Watch, Variables, etc.) All debugger capabilities are provided (step into, step over, step out, run, run to cursor, run to end, pause, stop).



oXygen Wizards

The oXygen plugin installs a series of Eclipse wizards that helps you to easily create new documents. Using these wizards, oXygen will fill in details such as the system ID or schema location of a new XML document, the minimal markup of a DocBook article, or the namespace declarations of a Relax NG schema.

Non-Blocking Operations

Some operations may take some noticeable time when you work on large documents or you perform complex transformations. Unlike other editors that block these operations and remain unusable for large periods of time, oXygen performs all these operations in background, keeping the interface usable so you can continue editing the document or switch to other documents or perform other operations.

XML Catalog Support

The XML Catalog support allows you to specify references to original remote resources (using a public ID or a remote URL) while the application is using your local copy for those resources. Thus, the documents are written in a portable manner, the access to resources is faster because the local copy is used, and the remote resource references can be used even when you are off-line. With oXygen, you can use OASIS Entity Resolution Technical Committee XML Catalog file, Extended OASIS Entity Resolution Technical Committee XML Catalog files, OASIS Open Catalog files, and "xcatalog" XML Catalog files.

XInclude Support

oXygen allows you to enable the XInclude support from the XML Parser preferences page. The XInclude support is based on Xerces.

Context-Sensitive Content Completion Assistant

oXygen offers proposals for elements, attributes, and attribute values via context sensitive content completion mechanism. Unlike other editors that offer all the available entries, oXygen will offer only the entries that are valid in the editing context to help you create valid content while editing.

Content Completion Assistant Shows XSLT Output Document Elements

While creating an XSLT document as output (HTML, FO, or another XML format), XSLT allows you to specify elements from the target output directly. For example, you can specify instead of ... . Whenever an xsl:element is allowed, the Content Completion Assistant provided by oXygen will also propose the elements from the target output. The target output document type can be easily configured from options where you can choose from XHTML, FO, and to specify a custom XML Schema or DTD.

XSLT Transformations

oXygen allows you to define a stylesheet, an FOP to be applied on your XML document, and how you would like to save or view the transformation result. You can create more transformations for a file, and the current transformation can be executed with one mouse-click or keyboard shortcut. Support for cascading stylesheets is also available.

DocBook Documents Support

oXygen plugin includes DocBook DTDs, XML catalog, stylesheets, and document templates so that you can start creating DocBook documents right away. Articles from our site are written in DocBook and their sources are available for download so you can easily have some samples to start from. DocBook documents can be converted to HTML, PDF, or PostScript.

TEI Documents Support

oXygen plugin includes TEI DTDs, XML Catalog, stylesheets, and document templates so that you can start working with TEI documents immediately. You can edit documents guided by the context-sensitive Content Completion Assistant, easily validate the edited documents, and transform them to HTML or PDF for presentation. We cooperate with TEI Consortium and are committed to keep the TEI support up to date in future oXygen releases.
