When I run a transformation in the XSLT Debugger perspective it is very slow. Can I increase the speed?

Disable rendering of output to the XHTML Output view during the transformation process if the transformation produces HTML or XHTML output. In order to view the output result run the transformation in the Editor perspective with the option "Open in browser" or run it in the Debugger perspective, save the Text output area to a file and use an external browser for viewing.

20.2.

I associated the .ext extension with <oXygen/> in Eclipse. Why does an .ext file opened with the Oxygen XML Editor not have syntax highlight?

Associating an extension with <oXygen/> in Eclipse 3.3+ requires three steps:

1. Associate the .ext extension with the Oxygen XML Editor: go to Windows -> Preferences -> General -> Editors -> File Associations, add *.ext to the list of file types, select *.ext in the list by clicking on it, add Oxygen XML Editor to the list of Associated editors and make it the default editor.

2. Associate the .ext extension with the Oxygen XML content type: go to Windows -> Preferences -> General -> Content Types and for the Text -> XML -> oXygen XML content type add *.ext to the File associations list.

3. Press the OK button of the Eclipse preferences dialog.

When a *.ext file is opened the icon of the editor and the syntax highlight should be the same as for XML files opened with the Oxygen XML Editor.
