Deleted plugins appear DITA Transformation Type Dialog Box

Post by kate_lopresti »

We've deleted some plugins from our DITA OT folder that we no longer use. However, they still appear as options in the Oxygen DITA Transformation Type Dialog Box. Is there a preferences file in Oxygen we also need to update to remove them from this list.

Hi Kate,
Both after adding and after removing plugins one should run the DITA OT integrator transformation scenario:

That's my issue.
After removing the plugins from the DITA-OT and running the integrator, the transformation scenario continues to show.

Code: Select all

integrate:
[integrate] Removed com.company.spdf3
configuration-jar:
      [jar] Building jar: C:\dita-ot-3.6.1\lib\dost-configuration.jar
I can still select it from New > DITA-OT Transformation even though it no longer works:
Also, minor related note, when I add a transtype this way, Oxygen adds the plugin desc to the UI instead of the transtype name.

Code: Select all

<transtype name="companyspdf3" extends="pdf" desc="company base PDF plugin"/>

Hello Kate,
I can still select it from New > DITA-OT Transformation even though it no longer works:
Strange, somehow Oxygen still picks it up from somewhere, if you re-start Oxygen does it still appear? If you search using Oxygen's "Find/Replace in Files" in the entire DITA OT folder for "companyspdf3" can you still find it mentioned somewhere?
Also, minor related note, when I add a transtype this way, Oxygen adds the plugin desc to the UI instead of the transtype name.
Yes, we present the description because the transtype name is more of an ID used internally than a name.

Thanks, Radu. Sure enough, restarting Oxygen did the trick.
Cheers,
Kate
