[oXygen-user] viewing files side-by-side?

Hi Lars,

No, there is not such a way right now, maybe only a workaround if you 
use the XSLT Debugger perspective. There the XSLT files are presented in 
a tabbed pane and the rest of the files are presented in a different 
tabbed pane, thus you get them side by side.

By default oXygen starts in a desktop working mode, that is it keeps a 
single instance. You can disable this if you pass the 
com.oxygenxml.MultipleInstances system parameter with true as value. 
Depending on how you start oXygen you need to edit a particular file as 
explained below.

1. If you are using the oxygen.exe on Windows you need to edit the 
oxygen.ini file and add to the Virtual Machine Parameters entry the 
following:

-Dcom.oxygenxml.MultipleInstances=true

2. If you use the oxygen.bat, oxygen.sh or oxygenMac.sh script you 
should add after the java command the following:

-Dcom.oxygenxml.MultipleInstances=true

3. If you use the Linux distribution you need to edit the oxygen.lax 
file and add the same

-Dcom.oxygenxml.MultipleInstances=true

to the lax.nl.java.option.additional entry.

Best Regards,
George
