hi

i tried to integrate an external DITA OT into oxygen. i downloaded the 1.8.5 version and placed it in a folder. then i changed the preferences in oxygen to point to this folder. when i execute a transformation scenario, it fails. no further info in the log.

however, if i change the preferences back to the built-in DITA OT and point in the transformation scenario to the external one, then it works.

my understanding was that when i change it in the preferences, it should work too ...

do i miss something here?

thanks for help.
chris.

Hi Chris,

So you are using Oxygen 17.0, right?

After the transformation fails, at the bottom of the application there should be a DITA OT console view tab which would contain the entire console output received from the DITA OT ANT process.
Could you paste it as a reply on the forum (in a code section)?

Regards,
Radu

Code: Select all

The process finished with exit code: 1

i guess, saxon is not present in the required location ...

Hi Chris,

Yes, so you can either download the "full easy install" DITA OT 1.8.5:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/dita-ot ... kit%201.8/

or just create that folder there and leave it empty. When the transformation is run from Oxygen, by default the DITA OT will attempt to use Oxygen's Saxon libraries anyway.

Radu
