Topic: XSLT debugger in eclipse repeatedly flashes the toolbar
Replies: 8
Views: 8301

I have come to the conclusion that this is most likely caused by the fact that the oxygen toolbar has several more icons when an xml document is selected than when an xslt document is selected. This means that if there is just enough room for the toolbar when you're in xslt, then when an xml documen...

Re: Xwatch doesnt update nodes/Values set correctly

We think that all sequences should be displayed the same even if they contain a single value. If some sequences are displayed in a different way the user is confused about the data type of that value. I can see the logic behind this. However it substantially increases the complexity of the UI. What...

Better reporting of missing named templates in XSLT

You are correct about the wider context of this problem. My suggestion would be to identify where there are hints that already exist within oxygen as to the intended context of the currently edited file. For example, in the XSLT debugging context, the run mechanism already attempts to compile the st...

Xwatch doesnt update nodes/Values set correctly

The expressions 1 and 't' are presented as node sets in the XWatch view only if you run the transformation with Saxon 8. This happens because in XSLT 2.0 they are evaluated as sequences. I understand that in XPath 2.0/XSLT 2.0 everything is a sequence. However, given that this is the case, it would...

Both of these issues also occur using 3.2.1.

Xwatch doesnt update nodes/Values set correctly

Hi, when you type an xwatch expression and press enter, the "nodes/values set" pane does not update. To workaround this, it is possible to force the "nodes/values set" pane to update by selecting a different xwatch expression and then selecting the new one once more, however this...

Better reporting of missing named templates in XSLT

At the moment, if stylesheet A imports stylesheet B, which calls several named templates that exist in stylesheet A, then oxygen will report errors at each of the call-template instructions in B. However, stylesheet A may be run without problems, because once it imports B, all of the call-template i...

Re: Faster and/or more graceful handling of large XML files

Unfortunately the Eclipse framework does not allow plugins to customize the file open operation. The framework calls the plugin after the content of the file is loaded from disk in memory.

Faster and/or more graceful handling of large XML files

Even worse, if you somehow end up in a situation where the workbench state contains an open xml file that is too large for oxygen to handle, eclipse will hang on loading.

Currently, when attempting to open an XML file that is more than a few megabytes, oxygen effectively hangs. This can result in loss of work and at the very least is rather annoying.

It'd be great if the logical model view of the schema editor could synchronise with the schema text, in the same way that the full model does.
