What's New
Version 13.2:

Core Functionality

  • Syntax Highlight for Mixed Content Types:
    The syntax coloring engine was redesigned for an improved performance and a more accurate detection of the tokens. Different content types mixed in the same file (like PHP, JS and CSS scripts inside an HTML file) are now highlighted according with the color schemes defined for each content type.
  • Find/Replace over Remote Files:
    You can use the Find / Replace in Files support over remote files (WebDAV, FTP) that are linked from a project or DITA map.
  • Spell Check in Remote Files:
    Added Spell Check support for the remote files (WebDAV, FTP) that are linked from a project or DITA map.
  • Improved Open/Find Resource Filter:
    The Open/Find Resource action was improved by allowing you to look for resources using path fragments (matches on directories).
  • Improved BIDI Rendering Support:
    A number of BIDI-text-related issues have been fixed, leading to an improved rendering of bidirectional content documents.
JSON
  • Improved JSON Editing Support:
    Mark as Array action was added in Grid mode to convert a JSON value to array. Also 3 new actions - Insert value before, Insert value after and Append value as child - ease the editing of JSON documents.
Author
  • Improved DITA Map Metrics Report:
    The DITA Maps Metrics Report was enriched with the following information: DITA conditional processing attributes used in DITA Maps, number of elements, attributes, words, and characters used in the entire DITA Map structure, information types like number of containing maps, bookmaps, or topics.
  • Experimental Support for CGM Images:
    provides experimental support for CGM 1.0 images.
  • Improved the Usage of Profiling / Conditional Text:
    The usage of Edit Profiling Attributes action is no longer restricted to profiling only entire elements. Now it also works on selections, that can contain from a couple of words to multiple elements. You can also apply it on multiple topics selected in DITA Maps Manager view.
  • Prefixed Oxygen CSS Properties Extensions:
    Oxygen-specific CSS properties are now prefixed with the -oxy- marker. The old, unprefixed form is now deprecated.
  • Browse Reference Manual Action:
    A new contextual action is available for DITA, DocBook, TEI, XHTML documents. It opens in your web browser a reference to the documentation of the XML element closest to the caret position.
    Extended API
  • Change the Foreground Color of a Custom Highlight:
    Added accessor methods in ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.highlights.ColorHighlightPainter class that allow you to change the foreground color of a custom highlight.
  • Keep Undo History When Replacing the Editor Content:
    Added a new method (WSEditorBase.reloadContent(Reader, boolean)) that allows you to replace the entire content of the editor, keeping the UNDO history.
  • Customization of the Nodes Rendering:
    You can use an implementation of the ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.node.customizer.XMLNodeRendererCustomizer interface, to customize the way an XML node is rendered in the Author Outline view, Author breadcrumb navigation bar, Text mode Outline view, content completion assistant window, or DITA Maps Manager view.
  • Targeted URL Stream Handler Plugin:
    This new plugin is useful when connections opened from a specific host must be handled in a particular way. For example, the built-in Oxygen HTTP URLStreamHandler may not be compatible for sending and receiving SOAP using the SUN Webservices implementation. In this case you can override the stream handler set by Oxygen for HTTP to use the default SUN URLStreamHandler.
  • Customization of the XML Fragment that Wraps the Profiled Content:
    You can provide an extension of ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.ProfilingConditionalTextProvider class through ExtensionBundle in order to set a phrase-type element that will wrap the content the author wants to profile. The profiling attributes will then be applied on this phrase-like element. This extension was designed to help you handle selections that contain partially selected element content. comes bundled with default extension for DITA and DocBook built-in frameworks.
  • Access to a Specific Editor:
    Now you have access to all open files (editors) by using the AuthorWorkspaceAccess.getEditorAccess(URL) method. You can also find all the editor locations from getAllEditorLocations() method.
Databases
  • Support for MarkLogic 5:
    has been updated to work with MarkLogic 5.
  • Find / Replace in Files:
    The Find / Replace in Files action now works over remote resources stored in XML-native databases or WebDAV/(S)FTP datasources.
Updated Syncro SVN Client
  • Flexible Application Layout:
    Syncro SVN Client's flexible layout is back by popular demand. This allows you to adapt the application to different viewing conditions and personal requirements.
  • Redesigned History View:
    The History View was redesigned to optimize the screen area usage and to improve the way the information is delivered:
    • Now you can group revisions by their commit date to easily locate changes in time.
    • Improved representation of the paths affected in a revision, following the same design used in the Working Copy and Repositories views. Data sorting and key search features were added to help you easily handle large sets of affected resources.
    • Added tree-like representation of the affected paths used for filtering them by location.
  • Improved Syntax Highlight:
    Syncro SVN Client built-in editors feature a more accurate and efficient syntax highlight algorithm for the content you want to edit. Also, mixed content types are highlighted accordingly (like PHP scripts inside an HTML file).
Updated Components:
  • Calabash
  • Calabash XProc processor was updated to version 0.9.43.
  • W3C CSS Validator
  • W3C CSS Validator was updated to version 2.0 (v. 2010_0).

This is a fantastic and essential editor for anyone working with XML and its related technologies (XSLT, XQuery, XML Schemas, RelaxNG, DTD). If you work with TEI, DocBook, or DITA, oXygen ships with up-to-date versions of these schemas and templates. oXygen natively understands (and learns) XML structures, so you'll notice it suggesting element and attribute values as you edit. It's also an excellent XHTML, CSS, and plain text editor. Its built-in ability to browse and query native XML databases (such as eXist and Mark Logic), SQL databases, and SVN repositories make it a tool for the power user.

While Java-based and thus visually non-Mac in UI, the developers are listening to the requests of mac users in their forums. Like many specialized tools, oXygen's many views and palettes let you customize your UI to expose only what you need to get your job done.

Lastly, don't let the price scare you away! There price listed here is for the professional commercial license. The personal/academic price is much lower (currently $48). The fact that this license is cross-platform means that if you have a windows machine you can install it there too and get work done.

Since I purchased in November, two point releases have come out - 9.2 and 9.3 - and I've been impressed with the steady progress they've made. 9.3 is able to open MS Office XML files in their zipped state from within oXygen. They're also adding more options for WYSIWYG-like XML editing, which make it nicer to edit XML files (and to train XML newbies to edit XML files).

My only problem cropped up when I began editing a fairly large XML file - I started getting out of memory errors. This was solved by a quick edit of a config file (oxygenmac.sh) in the oxygen directory... Java apps apparently can't adjust their memory as needed as native mac apps can. But the steps for doing this were well laid out in the included documentation.

This is arguably the best XML editor I've used for a number of reasons.

I had previously used Emacs (via psgml) for most of my needs, but occasionally tried GUI editors as they became available.

The first requirement is that it run on each platform I use (OS X, Linux, Solaris). Because it is Java-based, will run on any platform that has a native Java interpreter.

Additionally, the built-in templates for various schemas make it incredibly easy to create new documents, etc. Particularly of interest to me, since much of what I do is documentation, is 's DocBook integration.

Also of note is the new inline checking, etc.

The price seems high to some, but given that the license includes the right for me to run it on any Java-enabled platform, the price is very good.

I've rarely purchased an app where I had no regrets about some portion of the product I purchased. is one such app which I can recommend wholeheartedly.

Oxygen may be a full featured XML editor, but I think they have spent a lot of time making an editor than can handle multiple file types versus an all around excellent XML editor.

I am used to XMLspy, on windows, and a coupld features it has Oxygen would be well advized to implement. The tree view in XMLspy for instance is lightyears ahead of Oxygen's.


Over all, for a crossplatform XML editor, it's great thought. Mostly minor things, and the speed could use a boost as well.
