[oXygen-user] feature request: use ant properties file for transformation scenarios

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello,

You can save the transformation scenarios at project level in Oxygen by 
selecting the option "Project Scenarios" in the dialog with the list of 
scenarios. The parameters of the stylesheet are saved in an element 
scenario/field:


<scenario>
   ...
   <field name="xsltParams">
     <list>
       <transformationParameter>
         <field name="name">
           <String xml:space="preserve">draft.mode</String>
         </field>
         <field name="value">
           <String xml:space="preserve">no</String>
         </field>
       </transformationParameter>
       <transformationParameter>
         <field name="name">
           <String xml:space="preserve">img.src.path</String>
         </field>
         <field name="value">
           <String xml:space="preserve">./../</String>
         </field>
       </transformationParameter>
     </list>
   </field>
   ...
<scenario>


You can write a stylesheet or a script that reads your list of pairs 
param name - param value and populates the params in the scenario stored 
in the Oxygen project file. Reopen the modified project file in the 
Project view and now the params are set in the scenario.

Sorin
