Bocaloco Ships XMLBuddy 0.1 Pre-release

(8/18/2002 Maple Grove, MN) Bocaloco Software LLC today announced the immediate availability of XMLBuddy^™ 0.1, an XML design and editing tool. This pre-release version of the software, packaged as a plug-in for the Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE), is provided as a free download to Eclipse users for testing purposes.
     "There has been a lot of user interest in an XML editor add-on for Eclipse," said Bob Foster, Bocaloco President. "We hope that this test version of XMLBuddy will be useful to Eclipse users and that they will give us valuable suggestions for future enhancements."
     Version 0.1 provides an integrated XML editor, with syntax coloring for XML and JSP documents, code assist, validation, synchronized outline view and external entity caching. Code assist and validation are DTD-based, and works with user-supplied or industry DTDs such as XHTML^™, DocBook, etc. Validation also supports XML Schema.
     External entity caching allows DTDs and associated documents to be downloaded from the web only once and thereafter be accessed from files on the user's computer, significantly speeding up access.
     XMLBuddy 0.1 has been tested with Windows 2000 and Windows XP, and with the experimental version of Eclipse for MacOS X. Eclipse users on other platforms are encouraged to try the plugin and report their experience.
