I'm trying to create and extension in java to post DITA files from Oxygen up to a data base via a web service. Is there a way I can get a list of the documents that are open in Oxygen? What about in the DITA Map Manager?

Hi,
For the Oxygen standalone edition we have a set of sample plugins available here (+ JavaDoc and PDF documentation):
http://www.oxygenxml.com/developer.html#Plugins
An Oxygen plugin is usually installed by copying it to the "OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/plugins" directory.
The type of sample plugin you should look into is the
Workspace Access plugin.
In this type of plugin you get access to a
StandalonePluginWorkspace which contains methods like:
Code: Select all
/**
* Get all the editor locations.
*
* @param editingArea One of the constants in this class:
* <br>
* {@link #MAIN_EDITING_AREA} - for the editors in the main Oxygen workspace area.
* <br>
* {@link #DITA_MAPS_EDITING_AREA} - for the editors in the DITA Maps Manager view workspace area.
* <br>
* @return All the editor locations or empty array if no editor is opened
*/
URL[] getAllEditorLocations(int editingArea);
This type of plugin also allows you to add your own actions to the toolbar and main menu.
Regards,
Radu

Thanks for the input. I'm looking forward to trying it out when I get back to that project.
