Re: Using external DITA-OT requires empty "lib/saxon" folder

Thanks for the quick reply, Radu. Actually, I did use the "full easy install". I will test this again on another machine and open a bug on GitHub if necessary.

Kind regards,

Re: Eclipse plugin hijacks Automatic Update sites

Hi Adrian,

Thanks for the quick reply and sorry for the false alarm. I have some other plug-ins installed and as all update URLs were gone except for the oXygen one I suspected oXygen to be the culprit.

I will check again and report back.

Kind regards,

Eclipse plugin hijacks Automatic Update sites

I'm using the oXygen Eclipse plugin v. 15.2 with Eclipse Kepler. Now at Window > Preferences > Install/Update all Available Software Sites are gone and only http://www.oxygenxml.com/InstData/Editor/Eclipse is left.
