RUN DITA-OT

[Emanda]

Hi,

I recently integrated the SVG support component using RUN DITA-OT Integrator on Oxygen v26 and encountered an error:

Code: Select all

BUILD FAILED
C:\Program Files\Oxygen XML Editor 26\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\integrator.xml:45: Integration failed: java.io.IOException: net.sf.saxon.s9api.SaxonApiException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Program Files\Oxygen XML Editor 26\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\config\plugins.xml (Access is denied)

After granting full access to `plugins.xml`, reopening Oxygen v26 as admin, and rerunning it, the integration succeeded:

Code: Select all

[integrate] Added com.oxygenxml.latex.svg

I'm curious why Oxygen v26 requires admin access for certain files when v25 did not. Could this be due to firewall changes or Windows 11 updates?

Hi Emanda,

By default when you install Oxygen on Windows, it gets installed in the Windows "Program Files" folder where Oxygen itself cannot make direct changes unless given explicit permissions. So this behavior has always been the same, no matter if you are using Oxygen 25 or our latest 28.1.
Our official procedure for DITA OT plugin installation states:

https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/ ... rator.html

If Oxygen XML Editor was installed in the default location, you may need to restart and run it as an administrator.

An alternative is to copy the entire DITA OT folder outside of the Oxygen installation folder to your documents folder for example, then in the Oxygen Preferences->"DITA" page refer to that external copied DITA OT as the default publishing engine, then install the plugin in it.

Regards,
