Oxygen XML Editor 8.0
Editor Capabilities
XML Grid Editor [read more...]
The OxygenGrid editing mode allows you to edit repetitive XML content in a special
layout that is similar to a spreadsheet application, without the need to interact with
markup.
Accurate XML Error Reporting
Many of the XML Schema and DTD-related errors are reported with accurate
location information. For instance, an error referencing to the invalid value of an
attribute will highlight exactly that value in the text.
Accurate XPath Result Elements Locations
Selecting a result of an XPath query highlights the XML source region
corresponding exactly to the result element.
Configurable Initial Directory of the File Open Dialog Box
The initial directory of the File Open dialog box can be either the directory
of the last opened file or the directory of the current edited file.
Associate XSLT Stylesheet Action
This action allows you to insert an xml-stylesheet processing instruction in
the current XML document to associate it with an XSLT stylesheet. Many of the web browsers
have XSLT support and can perform the XSLT transformation and display the
result.
Open in Browser Action
This action opens the current document with the application configured as
default browser.
Improved Support for Schemas with Embedded Schematron Rules
You can associate the edited document with an XML Schema or Relax NG schema
having embedded Schematron rules in one step.
Preserve the Line Separator
This option is useful when you are editing files originating from different
operating systems and you need to preserve their line separator.
Improved Database Support
Database Perspective [read more...]
Using the Database perspective,
you can browse tables or collections from databases, execute XQuery or SQL queries, inspect
or modify data, and specify XML Schemas for the XML fields and collections.
Using the Database perspective, you can browse tables or collections from databases, execute XQuery or SQL queries, inspect or modify data, and specify XML Schemas for the XML fields and collections.
The database support includes many of the popular servers, operating either as native XML storage (MarkLogic, eXist, Berkeley) or mixed, as relational and XML at the same time (DB2, SQLServer, Oracle).
Support for Berkeley DB XML [read more...]

Transformation and XSLT/XPath
Flexible Input Configuration for Transformation Scenarios
You can specify both the transformation XML source and the stylesheet locations, it is not required anymore for the edited document to be one of the transformation XML source or stylesheet. This allows editing a module and invoking a transformation on the Master Files.
Project Level Transformation Scenarios
The transformation scenarios can be stored in the project file. This simplifies
the scenario management by attaching only the relevant scenarios to a project.
Furthermore, you can pass over to your teammates a set of pre-configured project
scenarios.
Validation Engine Detection for XSLT and XQuery
The edited XQuery or XSL file is validated using the engine specified in the
transformation scenario. If no transformation scenario is defined then the default
validation engine from the options is used.
Open Transformation Result in Editor
An option was added to the transformation scenario to allow opening the
transformation result in Oxygen.
XSLT/XPath Function Signature/Arguments Helper
Oxygen helps editing complex XPath expressions by presenting a tooltip with
the function signature above the function name and highlighting the current argument. This
support is available when editing expressions in the XPath Toolbar and the XPath Builder,
and also when editing XSL stylesheets and XQuery files.
Subversion Client
Open a File or Folder from the Oxygen Project into the SVN Client
The SVN Client automatically checks the status of the selected resource
allowing you to immediately commit or update it.
Compare Images in the SVN Client
You can compare side by side different revisions of image files.
Support for Creating SVN Patches
You can create patches in the unified diff format between two revisions or
between your working copy and a revision.
Filters for the SVN Working Copy
You can choose to hide from the Working Copy file browser the files that are
ignored or scheduled for deletion.
Schema Support
NVDL Editor
You can edit Namespace-based Validation Dispatching Language scripts taking
advantage of continuous validation support and context-sensitive content completion
assistance.
Validation Against NVDL Scripts
Oxygen has built-in, ready-to-use NVDL support. It includes oNVDL - an NVDL implementation, allowing the validation of XML
documents against NVDL scripts. The support includes validation on demand, continuous
validation, validation with external schema, and batch validation from the
project.
Content Completion Assistant Based on NVDL Scripts
The Content Completion Assistant is able to use an NVDL script to offer
proposals. This makes it possible to edit documents with complex structures that contain
multiple languages defined by different schemas (for instance, XHTML with embedded
XForms).
Mapping from XML Schema Logical Diagram to Text
It is possible to locate in the source the definition of a component presented
in the logical diagram. This action is available in the contextual menu or by
double-clicking the diagram component.
Enable/Disable Schema Diagram and Related Views
You can change the Oxygen schema editing layout by choosing to hide or to
show the schema diagram and the Schema Components view.
Project
Project Level Options [read more...]
You can specify almost all of the Oxygen settings at project level. This makes it possible to share XML Catalogs settings, transformation scenarios, formatting options, validation options, or editor layouts along with the project.
