[oXygen-user] Support for jar: URNs?

[Eliot Kimber]

Sweet--it didn't even occur to me to put the catalog in the Zip file.

My workaround yesterday was to use Ant to rewrite the catalog to add the
${base.dir} location since I know where the jar file will be relative to the
catalog in the source tree.

But having the catalog in the source is even easier.

I also wonder if zip:file://../../foo/catalog.xml would work? I guess I can
do that experiment.

Cheers,

E.
