[oXygen-user] advantages of using Eclipse plugin?

[George Cristian Bina]

Hi Tom,

The DITA to Eclipse Help transformation is not linked in any way to 
using oXygen as an Eclipse plugin. This transformation is also available 
in the desktop version of oXygen.

The oXygen Eclipse plugin is useful when for some reason you are already 
using Eclipse and thus you can use oXygen within the same environment, 
without the need to switch to a different application. For example there 
are a number of CMSes that are based on Eclipse and therefore they offer 
integrations with the oXygen Eclipse plugin to provide the XML authoring 
support together with the CMS functionality in the same application.

Another use case is to combine the functionality of oXygen with a 
different product that is available as an Eclipse plugin. For example if 
you want Git support and oXygen in a single application you can get 
Eclipse + a Git plugin + oXygen Eclipse plugin and you have support for 
XML authoring/development and Git support in the same environment.

Also, the same oXygen license allows you to use both the standalone and 
the Eclipse plugin so you do not need to decide in advance what license 
you need - you just use the best oXygen distribution that suits your 
needs at a specific moment.

Best Regards,
George
