Problem with external FO processor in eclipse

[DavidT]

Hi!

I'm having trouble using an external fo processor from the eclipse plugin v5.1.

This is the error message:

Code: Select all

Started: C:\Program\Antenna\XSLFormatterV3\XSLCmd.exe -d D:\Dev\Eclipse\Workspace\XML\test.fo_fo -o D:\Dev\Eclipse\Workspace\XML\test.pdf

CreateProcess: C:\Program\Antenna\XSLFormatterV3\XSLCmd.exe -d D:\Dev\Eclipse\Workspace\XML\test.fo_fo -o D:\Dev\Eclipse\Workspace\XML\test.pdf error=267

Process ended with exit code: -1234567

The exact same settings works just fine from the oXygen standalone application, so maybe there is some bug in the eclipse plugin. Error 267 is ERROR_DIRECTORY - The directory name is invalid.

Is this a known problem? I've been looking through the forums but haven't found anything on this topic.

Hi David,

Thanks for reporting this problem, we were able to reproduce it and we logged it on our bugzilla. It appears indeed only in the Eclipse plugin distribution. We will investigate it and let you know our findings.

Best Regards,
George

It is not a bug in the Eclipse plugin. I used exactly the same settings as in the standalone distribution and the transformation worked the same:

Code: Select all

Started: "C:\Program Files\Antenna\XSLFormatterV3\XSLCmd.exe" -d "C:\current projects\eXml\samples\docbook\sample.xml_xslt" -o "C:\current projects\eXml\samples\docbook\sample.pdf"

If you have a working transformation scenario in <oXygen/> standalone just copy and paste the command line string from the External FO processor edit dialog in standalone (Options - Preferences - XSLT/FO - FO processors - the Edit button) to the same dialog in the Eclipse plugin, in my case:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\Antenna\XSLFormatterV3\XSLCmd.exe" -d ${fo} -o ${out}

As working directory in this dialog use the <oXygen/> start directory: . (a dot).
