Oxygen XML Forum

Using DITA OT 3.2.1, running HTML-based output (Suitehelp). This command line runs successfully:

bin\dita -f suitehelp -i "C:\path\to\mymap.ditamap" -v

But when I try to run the same OT, transtype and ditamap in Oxygen v.18.1, the build fails with the errors below near the end of the build.

I created the transformation scenario by clicking New in the dialog, DITA OT Transformation, then HTML5, and then I set it up with my OT and transtype.

When I run the same setup in Oxygen 21.1, it works fine.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,

Oxygen 21.1 has more advanced mechanisms for detecting the libraries used for publishing.
You probably need to edit the transformation scenario and in the "Advanced" tab click the "Libraries" button, then use the "Add" button to browse and add a reference to the library:

DITA-OT3.2.1\plugins\org.dita.eclipsehelp\lib\eclipsehelp.jar

Radu

That worked Radu. Thanks again!!
