Notes Windows 64-bit

  • You may encounter difficulties using some third party database drivers/plugins with native libraries that do not support the 64-bit architecture. If you do, you should install and use the Windows 32-bit kit of <oXygen/>.
  • The 64-bit edition of <oXygen/> has a slightly larger memory footprint than the 32-bit edition due to the nature of the 64-bit architecture and JVM. Only use the 64-bit edition if you have plenty of RAM, work with very large files and need the ability to use the extra memory.

Requirements Windows 64-bit

  • The Windows 64-bit kit of <oXygen/> can only be installed and ran on 64-bit Windows operating systems.

Instructions

Install

  • After downloading, extract the oxygen.zip archive.
  • A new version (or maintenance build) of <oXygen/> should not be extracted to a directory where a previous version (or maintenance build) is already installed.

Run

  • To run the application double-click Oxygen XML Editor or execute oxygenMac.sh from the Terminal.

Notes

  • Supports OS X Lion (10.7) and Mountain Lion (10.8).
  • The compressed file is recognized by OS X's built-in archive utility (or any third party archive utility which offers ZIP support). If it is not expanded on double click, you can expand it manually using an archive utility of your choice.
  • Copy to clipboard the license key you have received by email and paste it in the license registration dialog from the application.
  • With some fonts the cursor will behave unpredictably. It is recommended to use a fixed-size font, such as Monaco. More details can be found here.

" oXygen is the premier text editor for XML geeks, and an indispensable tool for O'Reilly's Production group. My team uses oXygen for everything from simple XML editing to Schema validation and XSLT transformations. The digital production staff especially loves oXygen's built-in EPUB support, which eliminates a great deal of the grunt work that is usually entailed in editing EPUB files. The more we use oXygen, the more realize what a powerful tool it can be in digital and XML-based workflows."
