Johnny's Software Saloon

Weblog where I discuss things that really interest me. Things like Java software development, Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Macintosh software, Cocoa, Eclipse IDE, OOP, content management, XML technologies, CSS and XSLT document styling, artificial intelligence, standard document formats, and cool non-computing technologies.

I like writing software, listening to music (mostly country and rock but a little of everything), walking around outside, reading (when I have the time), relaxing in front of my TV watching my TiVo, playing with my cat, and riding around in my hybrid gas/electric car.

MacNN | oXygen adds Subversion client

Some nice features have gotten added to oXygen in the newly released version 7.2, MacNN reports.

MacNN | oXygen adds Subversion client:
OXygen 7.2 XML Editor adds a complete Subversion client to ease the document sharing process between content authors, support for flattening XML Schemata, an XML Schema instance generator, and integration with the X-Hive/DB. The update also offers MarkLogic/TigerLogic XML databases, editing actions on the diagram, rename refactoring action, and search references/declarations actions in XML Schema as well as Relax NG schemata editors. Schema support enhancements include support for flattening XML Schema, rename refactoring action, find declarations or references of XML Schema components.

OxygenXML is a nice XML IDE. It is flush with features and support for all the major XML schemas. It has things in it that are both well-known by the public at-large, as well as capabilities to do things that are well-liked by XML experts.

I had a subscription for OxygenXML for a year that just ran out. I have been pretty happy with it.

It provides fluid conversion between XML schema formats: DTD, XML Schema, RELAX NG, etc. It produces grammar diagrams that, to my eye, look just like the ones that XML Spy produces. However, it goes beyond just producing them for W3 XML Schema. It can do them for RELAX NG schemas as well.

Since RELAX NG Compact is much easier for humans to work with than the W3 standard, and RELAX NG regular format is much easier than the W3 format for programs to analyze/understand - this feature is a pretty handy advantage. Of course you can convert between the two RELAX NG standard formats. They are just different ways of expressing the same thing.
