Eclipse 3.1 + Oxygen 5.1 + expansion of empty tags

Hi all,

We've licensed Oxygen 5.1 a couple of months ago. It works fine with Eclipse 3.1 except one annoying thing:

When removing character '/' from an empty tag Oxygen usally expands it to an opening and an closing tag of the same type. E.g: <foo/> becomes <foo></foo>. When I try to use this inside eclipse (using above configuration) the text buffer gets garbled and the editor freezes.

This appears to be a bug. I don't know if you provide fixes for past versions. If so, please tell me if there's any additional information you need to fix it.

A fix would be really appreciated since sometimes I remove '/' accidently. The consequence is that I loose my buffer every time. :(

Regards,
Bertram Kirsch

Hello,

<oXygen/> version 5.1 does not support Eclipse version 3.1 but only Eclipse 3.0.x. Eclipse 3.1 introduced changes in the API and some <oXygen/> features will not be working OK. You should use <oXygen/> 6.1 with Eclipse 3.1 or <oXygen/> 5.1 with Eclipse 3.0.2.

An <oXygen/> release supports the latest version of Eclipse at the release of that version of <oXygen/>. Eclipse 3.1 was released after <oXygen/> 6.0.

Best regards,
Sorin
