Here's one that ought to be pretty easy to do ( ). Could you include a simple feature for XML-JSON interconversion? I think you could probably just use the open-source library (Java) at http://www.json.org/java/

Thanks, John

Hi Sorin, I tried adding my dbxml library path to $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but didn't have any effect on the problem. Ultimately, I edited the oxygen startup file, adding the line INSTALL4J_ADD_VM_PARAMS=-Djava.library.path="/var/lib/berkeleydb/lib" (which happens to be my path to the java-aware ...

Hi all, Does oXygen support Berkeley DBXML 2.4.16 (current)? Docs say 2.4.11 is supported, but that release is no longer available from Oracle's download site (http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/berkeley-db/xml/index.html). I tried to set up a connection to my dbxml (2.4.16, 64-bit L...

Hi George,

Thanks for the update. I'm looking forward to the definitive release of the merged project!
If I have any problems, I'll get back.

John

Hi George, Over on the jing-trang project I'm sure you saw the continuation of the thread about schema simplification support: http://code.google.com/p/jing-trang/issues/detail?id=56&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Stars%20Module%20Summary0 I was asking about when simplification might su...

George,

So far, so good.

BTW, you know how you can include elements in the Schematron schema in the Editor > Content Completion >XSD using a preference?

Can you do the same thing for RNG? This preference setting doesn't seem to have any effect for the RNG or RNC editors.

John

George, Thanks for the tips -- I'm definitely going to add some diagnostics as you suggested. A question about embedding ISO Schematron -- does it matter where the <iso:ns> elements appear in the containing schema (top level vs. deep)? I have this big project I've mentioned before that has lots of i...

Hi, I discovered four of the problems: (1) I guess I need to specify queryBinding="xslt2" on the <schema> element. (2) The namespace issue is because I need to put <iso:ns> elements under the <schema> element; it's not enough to specify them using xmlns:xyz="http://www.foo.com". ...

hi guys, It's been awhile since I've used Schematron and I'm pretty shaky on Xpath 2.0. I'm having a problem getting the attached ISO Schematron to compile relative to the attached xml instance doc. It doesn't like my use of namespace prefixes, and my XPath expression is evidently bad. I'm sure I'm ...

Yes, Sorin. Thanks.

It's an interesting problem. The alternative of using xi:include works fine (and I'm grateful for the XInclude support in oXygen!), but the bigger issue of whether name classes should be patterns in RNG is presently an open question, it seems.

John

Hi all, In my big RNG project that contains many files, I repeatedly use a particular name-class in various places throughout the project. (It's the name class of all names that are not in any of the namespaces used by my project, i.e. the foreign name class with respect to my project's namespaces.)...

Hi guys,

Is there a way to batch print all/some files in a project (ideally with filter for file types)? i,e, without having to open and go through print dialog for each file individually ??

John

For most purposes, I like your more compact and human-readable style. Maybe you could offer both yours and the official, fully simplified form.

John

George, It works! I installed as an external tool, as you suggested. And the result (from a schema with dozens of externalRefs and includes) works fine as an input to Trang, making me a happy man. It's interesting that one or two stylistic conventions in the xml are different from the way the LMV di...

George, You're the best. I'll get back to you with feedback.
Best, John

George,

That's really cool -- I wasn't aware of that feature. As usual, you're way ahead of me.
Thanks!
John

P.S. Just tried it out and it works like a charm!

George,

This is great! But I'm afraid you overestimate my Java abilities -- can you possibly send this to me pre-packaged up as a .jar?

Thanks, John

Hi Sorin et al, I'm creating a big set of RelaxNG schemas that are composed out of a lot of modules using many <include> and <externalRef> elements. I love being able to see the "post-simplification" version of the schema as the Logical Model View (LMV) diagramming pane. Currently you can ...

Hi George, Quick question. I'm making a big set of RelaxNG schemas that are composed together out of a lot of modular files. Many of the modular files are intended purely for inclusion in other schemas by means of <externalRef> (i.e. they are in effect RelaxNG "code macros"). Some of these...

Hi guys, I would really love it if you could add the ability to generate sample XML documents from Relax NG schemas. Kohsuke Kawaguchi wrote a program xmlgen.jar that is part of the MSV project that does a good job of this (downloadable at https://msv.dev.java.net). The latest build of xmlgen.jar is...

Hi Sorin, You're right, it's not been adopted by any standards organization. But I do think it's a lovely bit of work that would be more widely appreciated if appropriately packaged. Since it really amounts just to applying a single transformation to an instance, it can be done manually in oxygen (j...

Hi George et al, Could I make a feature suggestion? It would be nice if you would integrate Examplotron (http://www.examplotron.org/) into the environment (maybe as a "Infer Relax NG schema..." menu item under "Tools" menu???) I like Examplotron for hacking around, and I don't kn...

Hi Sorin,

I was having this exact same problem of no printing on both my Macs (PowerBook G4 and Intel iMac) running OS 10.4.7.

This patched version of oxygen.jar fixed the problem for me as well.

Thanks.

John

that was "xml instance", not "cml instance"

One thing that would be really useful to me -- but I'm just learning about this so I may be naive -- would be a "Convert schema to Java classes..." functionality. You could argue that this functionality belings in a Java IDE, not in an xml editor. Well, maybe so. But maybe it belongs both ...

Octavian, Amazing response, as usual. Thanks so much. I was thinking that maybe 33%/50%/75%/100% would be better. 25% might be too small. Anyway, however you did it, I'm sure it looks great. Were you guys at XML2005 in Atlanta? I had to leave Monday before the action really got going, but I was hopi...

George,

Great! Thanks.

John

George et al, Would really like to be able to have multiple zoom levels in visual schema window. When several panes are open, I often can't see enough of the layout to work easily. Even just having a 50% zoom option would be great. (Can't imagine a use case for any zoom-in levels above 100%.) My ide...

George et al,

Just want to say how much I appreciate the "capture multiple outputs in debugger" feature in 6.2. I know there were reasons for ambivalence about introducing this feature, but in practice, this is truly helpful when hacking away at a transform. Thanks!

John
