During its startup:
XXE recursively scans the addon/
subdirectory of XXE user preferences directory searching it for files containing add-ons.
XXE user preferences directory is:
on Linux.$HOME
/.xxe4/
on the Mac.$HOME
/Library/Application Support/XMLmind/XMLEditor4/
on Windows 2000, XP, Vista.%APPDATA%
\XMLmind\XMLEditor4\
Example: C:\Documents and Settings\john\Application Data\XMLmind\XMLEditor4\
on Windows 2000 and XP. C:\Users\john\AppData\Roaming\XMLmind\XMLEditor4\
on Windows Vista.
If you cannot see the "Application Data
" directory using Microsoft Windows File Manager, turn on Tools>Folder Options>View>File and Folders>Show hidden files and folders.
This addon/
subdirectory is recursively scanned by XXE at startup time. Therefore, feel free to organize it as you want.
If the XXE_ADDON_PATH
variable is set to a non empty string, the content of this variable must be a list of directory names separated by character ";
" (even on Unix). All the directories referenced in this list are recursively scanned by XXE.
File names and "file://
" URLs are both supported. Windows example:
C> set XXE_ADDON_PATH=C:\xxe\doc\configure\samples\example1;\ file:///C:/xxe/doc/configure/samples/example2
If this path ends with ";+
", the addon/
subdirectory of XXE installation directory is also scanned at startup time. Otherwise, the default add-ons (XHTML configuration, DocBook configuration, etc) are ignored.
Form @
absolute URL
is also supported.
Absolute URL
specifies the location of a text file containing a list of (generally relative) URLs to be scanned by XXE. The URLs in this list are separated by white space.
Example, sample_configs.list
:
example1 example1/example1.css example1/example1.dtd example1/example1.xml example1/example1.xxe example1/example1_catalog.xml example2 example2/example2.css example2/example2.xml example2/example2.xsd example2/example2.xxe example2/example2_catalog.xml
Unix example:
$ export XXE_ADDON_PATH="@http://www.foo.com/xxe/sample_configs.list;+"
If the XXE_ADDON_PATH
is not set or is set to an empty string or ends with ";+
", XXE also recursively scans the addon/
subdirectory of its installation directory searching it for files containing add-ons.
