Oxygen XML Developer plugin has an extensive set of options that you can configure. When Oxygen XML Developer plugin in installed, these options are set to default values. You can provide a
different set of default values for an installation using an XML options file.
Creating an XML Options File
To create an
options file, follow these steps:
- It is recommended that you use a fresh install for this procedure, to make sure that
you do not copy personal or local preferences.
- Open Oxygen XML Developer plugin and open the
Preferences dialog box.
- Go through the options and set them to the desired defaults.
- Go to back to the main
preferences page and click to create an XML options file.
Using Customized Default Options
Use either one of the following ways to configure an Oxygen XML Developer plugin installation to use
customized default options from a created XML options file:
- In the [OXYGEN_DIR] installation folder, create a folder called
preferences and copy the XML options file into it (for example,
[Eclipse-platform-install-folder]/plugins/com.oxygenxml.editor/preferences/default.xml
or
[Eclipse-platform-install-folder]/dropins/[OXYGEN_DIR]/preferences/default.xml
if the plugin was installed as a drop-in).
- Set the path to the XML options file as the value of the
com.oxygenxml.default.options system property in the Eclipse configuration
file.
Add the following line in the
[Eclipse-platform-install-folder]/configuration/config.ini
file:
com.oxygenxml.default.options=file\:@config.dir/../default.xml
