I would like to customize the built-in framework, for example

1. Extending DITA & DocBook Link Resolvers [1]
2. Configure certain options in framework (for instance enabling / disabling outline pane or certain tools)

I understand that I could download the original framework form Oxygen repo, make changes on specific files, create a jar for my custom link resolver, reference the classes in framework file etc., But over the time it would be difficult to merge my changes into latest from Oxygen manually. Is there a proactive way, something like adding the framework as dependency and override the defaults rather than modifying original files?

Hello,

In version 23.0 we added support for a "Framework Extension Script" [1]. This way you can "programmatically" modify the builtin framework. I added at the end of the post the script that we used to generate the framework for Lightweight DITA.

For changes you make in code, you can extend the default ExtensionsBundle subclass of that framework and override some of the methods. Then, package it in a JAR file and add the JAR to the classpath using the script mentioned above.

For the outline configuration, it is also looked up in the classpath. To override the one in the base framework, just add the outline configuration file in a folder and add that folder to the classpath of your framework.

Best,
Cristian

For the outline configuration, it is also looked up in the classpath. To override the one in the base framework, just add the outline configuration file in a folder and add that folder to the classpath of your framework.

Do you have an example? I'm using the web-author-component-integration[1] project.

We have here documentation about configuring the outline: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/ ... -pane.html .
