[Treebeard-entmoot] Letter

[..... <htt...@ne...>]

Dear Sir

With regards and honor do please consider this proposal.I am from Zimbabwe but currently i and my brother is in Netherland.You might be worried how i got your contact address, I got it from Netherland Chamber of Commerce and trade e-mail directory.

Dear friend during this crises against the farmers of Zimbabwe by the supporters of our President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned farms in our country, he ordered all the white farmers to surrender their farms to his party members and their followers

My father was one of the best farmers in the country and knowing that he did not support the presidents political ideology, the presidents supporters invaded my fathers farm burnt down everything, shot him and as a result of the wounds sustained, he became sick and died after four days.And after his death,I and my younger Brother decided to move out of Zimbabwe for the safety of our lives to South-Africa.from thier we where able to enter into a 
ship and travel to the Netherland.

But, before he died he wrote his will, which reads (MY BELOVEED SON ,I WISH TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE SUM OF ($7.5,000000). MILLION U.S DOLLARS WHICH I DEPOSITED IN A SECURITY COMPANY IN JOHANNESBURG (SOUTH-AFRICA)and i have ask them to transfer it to thier branch in the netherland and secured it.IN CASE OF MY ABSENCE ON EARTH CAUSED BY DEATH ONLY".You should solicit for reliable foreign partner to assist you to transfer this money out of netherland for investment purpose.

I deposited the money in your name and it can be claimed by you alone with the deposite code. your mother has all the documents.Take good care of your mother and brother."

From the above, you will understand that the lives and future of my family depends on this money as much, I will be grateful if you can assist us.I and my younger brother are now living in the Netherland as POLITICAL ASYLUM SEEKERS and the financial law of the Netherland does not allow ASYLUM SEEKERS certain financial rights to such huge amount of money .

In view of this, I cannot invest this money in the Netrherland,hence I am asking you to assist me transfer this money out of Netherland and secure it for investment purposes. 

For your efforts, I am prepared to offer you 10% of the total fund, while 2% will be set aside for local and international expenses and 88% will be kept for me and my family.

Finally modalities on how the transfer will be done will be conveyed to you once we establish trust and confidence between ourselves. Looking forward to hear from you For more detailed information. 

NOTE:THE KEY WORD TO THIS TRANSACTION IS ABSOLUTE CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECRECY.THIS TRANSACTION IS 100% RISK FREE. YOUR URGENT RESPONSE WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED.

BEST REGARDS,

[Treebeard-entmoot] FOP with treebeard

[ashpool <as...@m-...>]

Until FOP is put into treebeard, you can run it using the command line
parser function.

add a line like
"C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Desktop\fop-0.20.4\fop.bat" -xml $1
-xsl $2 -awt

and click merge. You can change -awt to -pdf to make pdfs.

I had to edit the fop.bat file to use fully qualifed paths to get mine to
work.

[Treebeard-entmoot] Release version 0.2

[Rob <la...@ro...>]

Treebeard version 0.2 is out. This release is a milestone release.  It
adds the following capabilities:
* Plug-able XSLT parsers. Java based and external command line based.
* Beginning Syntax highlighting (more like key character highlighting at
present)
* Tree view path passer

The plug-able parser is fun. I have successfully used xalan, saxon,
jd.xslt, and Microsoft's msxsl 4.0 (he he he).  I am beginning to really
like saxon, the auto indent and the verbose errors make it really user
friendly. Perhaps I should bundle saxon instead of xalan? Not that it
really matters, you can download either free...

The Syntax highlighting is somewhat of a hack at present, but it turns
out that I like it the way it's going.  The thing that I do not like
about most XML / XSLT editors out there is they are based on HTML
editors.  While the structures are somewhat the same, the concept is a
bit different.  XSLT is more of a programming language than a formatting
language, and the HTML editors with their "all tags and text are blue"
and "all quoted text is green" style doesn't help me. I would like to
scan a document and quickly find a variable, or see single quotes in
double quotes easier. Anyway, let me know what you think... it's all
about the code.

I really like the Tree view path passer too. Simple concept, and I am
sure it's been done, but it does save some typing.  It's a life saver if
you use a lot of name spaces.

I also added a quick reference, and made the window non-modal so you can
copy (need to use control-c right now) code from the quick reference
into an XSLT.

Treebeard also crashes on MacOS X. I have been trying to find the
offending code, but it is very difficult as I only have access to a Mac
at work, and I can only use it on my breaks. So it could be a while
before I get it going.  It could go a lot faster if someone would give
me a Mac :-) . I think it has to do with the jre on MacOS X being 1.3.
Apple says 1.4 should be out soon so I posted v02 in case they release
it this week - right.

Finally, thanks for everyone's interest in Treebeard, and a special
shout out to my new German friend for donating some cash - Thank you
Frank.

Cheers,
Rob

[Treebeard-entmoot] New Version - v0.1.8 available

[rob <me...@ro...>]

Version 0.1.8 is pretty cool if I do say so myself. It fixes a couple
bugs from 0.1.5, and has a lot of editor work done (I bought a fat book
on swing).

If you are using the windows version, I recommend you uninstall any
previous version before installing this version. Normally it's fine to
install Treebeard over its self; however, changes were made to this
version that could cause problems if the previous version is still
installed.

For those using the just_treebeard version, I renamed the class Main to
Treebeard, so you'll have to change your paths accordingly (if not using
the -jar feature). I don't know why I named it Main in the first place,
that was silly. Also, if you download the config.xml file, the "new
xslt" feature will then work

The editor in 0.1.5 (the EditorKit for those in the know) was pieced
together from examples I found on the web. The examples turned out to be
lame, misleading, slow, and lead me in the wrong direction. The new
EditorKit is vastly improved, and adds normal editor features like
cut/copy/paste menus and undo/redo capabilities. Syntax highlighting is
still not working right so it's not in this release - it's getting close
though.

The new "Tree view" for XML documents is only partially done, but it's
fun to play with so I added it in this release. In the future, you'll be
able to build xpaths with it. You can use it right now to do simple
validation on XML documents, as the XML text runs through SAX when
building the tree.

I am assuming that most of the people using Treebeard are just learning
XSLT. Here are a couple tricks you can do with Treebeard:

    * If you go to http://www.google.com and type in "[search criteria]
filetype:xml", you can search for only XML documents. When you find a
nice one, you can copy the URL and use it in Treebeard by pasting the
URL into the "load XML" dialog box. It's easier than typing in XML
examples and gives you a better idea of XML in the real world.

    * If you want to do includes - like an xsl:import - put the files
into the Treebeard install directory. For example, C:\Program
Files\Treebeard\ on a default windows setup. That directory is where
Treebeard thinks root is. You can get fun things to include (and killer
example/libraries) at http://www.exslt.org

* If you don't like the default template that "New XSLT" gives you, you
can change it by loading the config.xml file (in the install directory)
and editing the default templates (there will be a menu, but that isn't
due for several versions)

Cheers,
Rob
