XMLmind XML Editor 4.2.1
Highly-extensible, multi-platform, validating XML editor featuring a word processor-like view XMLmind XML Editor is a highly-extensible, multi-platform, validating XML editor featuring a word processor-like view. XMLmind XML Editor is a powerful tool available in two editions: Standard Edition and Professional Edition. Standard Edition is free of charge but has fewer features than Professional Edition. Main features of XMLmind XML Editor:
Supports the DTD, W3C XML Schema, RELAX NG schemas, XML namespace, XSLT, XPath, XInclude, XML catalog standards.
Editing commands are DTD/schema aware. This makes creating invalid documents almost impossible.
Word processor-like views are configured using cascading style sheets (CSS2).
When a CSS style sheet is not available for a document, a fully editable tree view is used instead of the word processor-like view.
Multiple, synchronized, views can be used to edit the same document.
Standard controls such as buttons, check boxes, combo boxes, text fields, etc, can be embedded in the word processor-like view. With this feature, XXE can be used to edit XML data, XML documents or a mix of both content types.
Has an easy to use and yet extremely powerful integrated spreadsheet engine.
Can transform the document being edited using a built-in XSLT engine and FO processor plug-ins.
Supports many image formats (GIF, JPEG, PNG, SVG, TIFF, BMP, EPS, PDF, etc) through the use of image toolkit plug-ins.
Can be used to edit documents stored on an FTP or WebDAV server.
Ready-to-use support for XHTML (including HTML.4 tables and forms), DocBook (including CALS tables), Simplified DocBook, Slides.
Localized to English, French, German and Czech. Spell checker with dictionaries for English, French, German and Spanish.
Multi-platform: Windows, Linux, Mac OS X.
Can be customized (menu, tool bar, keyboard shortcuts, macro-commands, etc) without any programming, using modular XML configuration files.
Can be extended by writing custom commands and custom views in the JavaTM programming language.
Configuration files and Jar files containing extension code can be centralized on an HTTP or FTP server.
Can be deployed using JavaTM Web Start.
Requirements of XMLmind XML Editor:
Java runtime 1.5 or later.
At least 256Mb of memory and a 600MHz CPU.
60Mb of free disk space, 120Mb for a self-contained distribution which includes a Java 1.5 runtime.
What's New in This Release:
Enhancements:
Changed the look of the status bar mainly to improve its appearance on the Mac and also with the Nimbus Look and Feel (available as of JavaTM 1.6.0_10).
The explicitly selected node or implicitly selected element, that is, the subject of most commands acting on nodes, is now highlighted in the node path bar.
Made the autocompletion feature slightly smarter in several cases. Attributes tool example: from now, suffice to type the first few characters of the name of an attribute and then press Enter to select this name. Previously, after typing these first few characters, you had to also press the Space key or the Down Arrow key to fully specify the attribute name.
The Help menu now starts with a "Getting Started" menu item. This menu item displays what is, in our opinion, the shortest possible tutorial about XMLmind XML Editor.
XMLmind XML Editor has a new application icon based on the new logo of XMLmind.
The include command now supports URLs which need an XML catalog in order to be resolved. Example: include into boilerplate:common/trademarks.xml super_foo
It is now possible to convert DocBook 4 and 5 documents to the IDPF Epub e-book format using DocBook|Convert Document|Convert to Epub. The e-books generated by this facility have been tested against Adobe® Digital Editions and epubcheck. Note that profiling is not yet supported for the Epub format.
The xxe-*-mac.zip distribution has been suppressed because it is no longer needed. The regular xxe-*.zip and xxe-*.tar.gz distributions may now be safely installed on the Mac (though we still recommend ‘‘normal users'' to install the xxe-*.dmg distribution).
Upgraded the XMLmind XSL-FO Converter plug-in to version 4.3.
Bug fixes:
Promoting a sect3 element using menu item DocBook|Promote created a sect1 element instead of the expected sect2 element.
XXE was not able to reload the configuration customizations (Options|Customize Configuration) it created on the Mac. The error message was "Parse Error: Invalid encoding name "MacRoman".". Now such automatically generated configuration customizations are always saved using the "UTF-8" encoding.
XXE was supposed to be able to open XML documents using any of the encodings supported by the JavaTM runtime. This was not the case. For example, the "MacRoman" (and also its "x-MacRoman" alias) which is the default encoding on the Mac was not supported.
When option "Use a unique instance of XMLmind XML Editor" (Options|Preferences, General section) was turned on, executing a command like "xxe sftp://www.acme.com/docs/book.xml" failed with an "'sftp://www.acme.com/docs/book.xml' is not an URL or filename" error message.
The add-on called "W3C XML Schema configuration" was unusable due to an invalid reference to the XHTML 1.0 DTD (used to write the documentation of a W3C XML Schema).
The .bat files found in the bin subdirectory of XXE installation directory did not use the private JavaTM runtime bundled with the xxe-*-setup.exe distributions.
XMLmind XML Editor now uses a patched Xerces 2.9.1. These patches fix the following bugs: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1102, http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1113. Note that XMLmind XML Editor has always been immune to these bugs. We needed to apply these patches because a part of the codebase of XMLmind XML Editor is shared with other projects, which unlike the XML editor, use Xerces to process XIncludes.
