Bocaloco Ships XMLBuddy 0.2 Pre-release
(9/14/2002 Maple Grove, MN) XMLBuddy™
0.2, a pre-release update containing the features most requested by
users of version 0.1, is now available.
"The most-requested feature
was actually to take a 'feature' out," said Bob Foster, Bocaloco President.
"Validate now does a
well-formed check only for documents with no DTD."
"We also added some features that serious XML authors will appreciate,
like the ability to set up default DTDs based on root element
name, and the ability to generate a DTD that reflects a document's
contents or to get code assist in documents with
no DTD."
Version 0.2 also adds keyboard shortcuts
and alternate code assist triggers that change the way tags
are generated.
XMLBuddy is 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 0.2 has been tested with Windows
2000 and Windows XP, and with the experimental version of Eclipse for
MacOS X. "However," Foster notes, "nearly all Eclipse platforms
are represented in the thousands
of downloads since version 0.1 was announced and we have not received
any reports of platform-specific problems. This is a testament to
the portability of the Eclipse platform. Plugins just work."
