[xmlhammer-user] XML Hammer 1.0 Released

[Edwin D. <eda...@gm...>]

I am very pleased to finally announce the release of version 1.0 of
the XML Hammer application.

The XML Hammer application is a free and open-source tool that
simplifies elementary XML actions like checking for well-formedness,
validation, transformation and xpath searches using any JAXP
implementation.

The bugs fixed in this version include an issue with previously opened
but removed projects and some changes to the start-up scripts.

Besides the fixed bugs, this version also adds a line-number margin to
the different preview editor panes.

Re: [xmlhammer-user] A couple of bugs

[Edwin D. <eda...@gm...>]

Hello Miguel,

Thank you very much for this feedback, much appreciated.

I will add these problems to sourceforge.

Would it be possible to give me a little more information about this problem?

>  - XML files must be saved with Windows lineendings (CR+LF) to be detected properly.

Are you using these XML Files to validate or does this happen when you
use the output formatter or are these files XML Hammer projects?

Thanks again,
Edwin

[xmlhammer-user] A couple of bugs

[Miguel <mla...@we...>]

Hi Edwin,

Your tool has come very handy for validating a set of documents. I wanted to notify two bugs I have found:

- I could not make the application work on Linux. If you run it from the command line 
  "java -jar xmlhammer-1.0-rc-3.jar" or "java -Xmx64M -Djava.endorsed.dirs=lib -jar xmlhammer-1.0-rc-3.jar, 
  it only shows this output (no windows):
  $ log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.xmlhammer.gui.XMLHammer).
  $ log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly

  and stays like that. That happens with the IBM JDK [1.5] and SUN JDK [1.6].

- XMLHammer crashes (loop) when a project is saved with a filename without extension. 
  It does not work later unless the .xmlhammer folder (located in Users/YourUser) is deleted.

- XML files must be saved with Windows lineendings (CR+LF) to be detected properly.

Greets.

[xmlhammer-user] XML Hammer 1.0 rc-1 Released

[Edwin D. <eda...@gm...>]

I am very pleased to announce (again later than promised) the
release of the first release-candidate of the XML Hammer application.

This is a major bug-fix release, the main new features are:
* comprehensive help documentation,
* deactivate and activate properties,
* easier to use validation functionality (thanks to Sanne de Roever),

The main bugs fixed are:
* selecting items in combo-boxes using keys,
* issues when performing XPath searches,
* module initialization error handling,

OVERVIEW:

When the only thing you've got is a XML Hammer, every solution looks like XML.

The XML Hammer application is a tool that simplifies elementary XML
actions like checking for well-formedness, validation, transformation
and xpath searches using any JAXP implementation.

After all these years of XML, it is still relatively difficult to
simply validate or transform XML files. You are currently either
forced to use extensive, sometimes expensive, and most often difficult
to use tools with a lot of extra functionality unnecessary for these
simple tasks and very often not flexible enough to provide what you
want, or you will have to be almost a programmer and create your own
application or script to handle these elementary XML related tasks.

The XML Hammer tool addresses these issues by providing a free and
open-source tool that has a (relatively) simple to use user-interface
however still allowing the flexibility for the user to specify
anything that he/she would have been able to specify when writing a
script for this same task him/herself.

[xmlhammer-user] Looks very good!

[Sanne de R. <sa...@ne...>]

Hi Edwin,

The tool looks very good. It is amazing how difficult it is to find a
decent tool.
Great job: respect!

One question. If I want to validate a file that has not got a
schemaLocation directive, how can I add an external xsd for a given
namespace? I tried adding xsd's to the XML parser tab, but that doesn't
seem to work. Is that a bug, or am I using this in the wrong way?

Regards,

Sanne
