Saxon8-SA

Post by uk3000 »

Hello,

i have an evaluation licence of saxon8sa and want to try this
with the plugin version of oxygen (7.1.0)

i copied saxon8sa.jar and the licence file to
eclipse/plugins/com.oxygenxml.editor_7.1.0/lib

This results in an error message:
"Invalid lincence file found."

what is going wrong ?
do i have to copy other files from saxonsa8-7-1j.zip
to the lib directory and overwirte the older version?

thank you for any help

Hi,

First please note that oXygen 7.1 supports Saxon SA 8.7.0 (you can get that from Saxonica website), the latest Saxon 8.7.1 will be supported in the next oXygen release.

To configure Saxon SA you need to place the jar and the license file in the plugin classpath. You need to edit the plugin.xml to add a reference to the Saxon 8 SA jar in the requires section (where there are references to the other jars). The license file should be ok if it is placed inside oXygen plugin lib folder as that is already added to the plugin classpath.

Best Regards,
George

Hello,

I just performed an XSLT transformation with Saxon 8.7.1 SA in the <oXygen/> Eclipse plugin version 7.1.0, which is the latest version (build ID 2006030214 reported in Window -> Preferences -> oXygen). As George mentioned already all you have to do is place the saxon8sa.jar and saxon-license.lic files in the [Eclipse-install-folder]/plugins/com.oxygenxml.editor_7.1.0/lib folder, restart Eclipse, select Saxon 8 SA in the transformation scenario edit dialog, in the Transformer combo box and run the transformation scenario. The other jar files needed for transformations with Saxon 8 SA are already present in the lib folder because the <oXygen/> install kit includes Saxon 8 B. The Saxon 8 SA validation options can be configured in the preferences section Window -> Preferences -> oXygen -> XML -> XSLT/FO/XQuery -> XSLT -> Saxon -> Saxon 8 SA specific options.

Regards,
Sorin
