[oXygen-user] Relax NG Pluggable Datatype Libraries

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello,

You have to add the jar with the datatype library to the classpath of 
the Oxygen plugin: copy the file html5-datatypes.jar to 
${oxygenHome}/lib/ directory and add the line

   <library name="lib/html5-datatypes.jar"/>

in the <runtime> element of the ${oxygenHome}/plugin.xml file. The 
library html5-datatypes.jar needs the following jars from the Jena 
distribution otherwise you get many ClassNotFound exceptions:

jena.jar
iri.jar
icu4j_3_4.jar

You can download a Jena distribution from:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=40417&package_id=41716

You have to copy the jar files to ${oxygenHome}/lib/ and add them to 
plugin.xml:

   <library name="lib/jena.jar"/>
   <library name="lib/iri.jar"/>
   <library name="lib/icu4j_3_4.jar"/>

Restart Eclipse and you can validate the RELAX NG schema that uses the 
HTML 5 datatype library. Also you can validate XML documents against 
such a schema.

We will add the steps of this procedure to the User Manual.


Regards,
Sorin
