[oXygen-user] Using Other Toolkits with Oxygen 12

[Radu Coravu]

  Hi Eliot,

I made a patch in the "dost.jar" to allow a parameter which turns off 
the grammar caching (of which some users who use entities in DITA 
complained) as Oxygen 12 integrates DITA OT 1.5.1.
Probably this patch will be removed in Oxygen 12.1 as the newest DITA OT 
seems to have added such a parameter also (which was probably added by 
modifying the same class, leading to this problem).
These patches are usually included in the "oxygen.jar" library.
If you want you can edit a DITA ANT transformation scenario, in the 
"Advanced" tab click the "Libraries" button, uncheck the "Allow Oxygen 
to add..." checkbox and you have full control on the libraries used to 
start ANT.
This means you will be able to remove the Oxygen patches entirely 
(remove the top 5 entries entirely). A higher library in the list will 
be more preferred by the class loader.
You will also probably have to replace the entries using the Saxon 9 
libraries from the Oxygen library folder with the libraries in the DITA 
OT distribution, as the Oxygen patches are also used to register the 
commercial Saxon EE.

Regards,
Radu
