Can't select XML or XSL file in XSLT Debugger

[Pam Sherman]

We are evaluating the Oxygem XML plugin on the Eclipse platform and
are running into a problem in the XSLT Debugger:

- the XML source file is already open
- the XSL stylesheet is already open
- the Oxygen XSLT Debugger perspective is open
- Xalan is selected as the XSLT (xalanOxygen.zip is in the right place
and Eclipse was re-started)

Problem => The XML drop-down and the XSL drop-down are both empty.
IOW, we can't select the XML source file in the XML drop-down (which
is on the Debugger tab) - same goes for the XSL stylesheet.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Please let us know more information about your system. What version of Eclipse are you using, what operating system, what oXygen distribution will help. Do you get anything in the Error Log view ? Try also closing the Debugger perspective and open it again. Do you get the same problem ?

Best Regards,
George

Hi, I have exactly the same problem!
I've got Eclipse 3.0.1 and the latest Oxygen 5 plugin running on windows XP with JDK1.4.2
I've tried opening and closing everything but the dropdowns are still empty.
Please help.

Hi,

Please try the following:
Open the XSLT Debugger perspective.
Create a new XML file, sample.xml and open it.
Create a new XSL file, sample.xsl and open it.

Is the XSLT Debugger selection combos empty?

If yes please check your Error Log View and see if you get any exceptions there. Let us know how is going.

Best Regards,
George

Ok i've tried that and the lists are still empty - where do I find the log?

[george]

Window->Show View->Other -- PDE Runtime -- Error Log

Hmm, nothing in there regarding oxygen

Can you send us a screenshot at support@oxygenxml.com?
Thanks,

One more thing, make sure you installed the plugin for Eclipse 3.0 (there is also a distribution for Eclipse 2.1 and that may cause problems on Eclipse 3).

Plugin.xml in my ..\eclipse.3.0.1\plugins\com.oxygenxml.editor_5.0.0 directory says:
<?eclipse version="3.0"?>

So I presume I have the right plugin version.

Hi,

Thanks for sending the screenshot, that helped.
It looks like you are using other editors, not the ones provided by oXygen. Close the files and when you open them use Open With from the contextual menu and select Oxygen XML/XSL Editor. Alternativelly you can go to Eclipse preferences and set the Oxygen XML and XSL Editors as default for XML and XSL extensions.

Best Regards,
George

AhA! That was the problem!
All good now - thanks for your help.
