Plugins not working in Oxygen 7.1, 7.2

Post by djiao »

I am trying to get the sample plugins to work in 7.1/7.2. However, after copying the folders in the samples folder into the plugins directory of oxygen installation, none of them work. From menu Options->preferences-> plugins, not a single plugin is identified.

I am not linux (suse 10) and uses JDK1.5 to run oxygen.

Anybody have any idea on this?

Thanks!

Hi David,

I know we clarified this already when you contacted us on the support email address, I just update the result here if someone finds the problem in the forum.

It is an OS related problem. We were able to reproduce it but only when using the oxygen.sh to start oXygen. When we used the executable oxygen7.2 then the plugins are visible (note that you need the Linux distribution, not the all platforms, as only the Linux distribution creates the executable).

The problem is related with how the plugins folder is identified and another solution is to edit oxygen.sh and change $p/plugins from:

java -Xmx256m\
"-Dcom.oxygenxml.editor.plugins.dir=$p/plugins"\
-Dcom.oxygenxml.MultipleInstances=true\
-cp "$CP" ro.sync.exml.Oxygen "$@"

to the full path to the oXygen plugins folder.

Best Regards,
George
