XXE is developped on SuSE Linux 7.2 with Sun JDK 1.3.1. > it works but i have a few remarks: > > - makefile loops when doing a make clean or regular make On my machine, the top makefile does not loop for ever, it loops over its subdirectories (and there is quite a number of theses subdirectories). > - there are a few warnings: > > Gadget.java:83: warning: getFontMetrics(java.awt.Font) in > java.awt.Toolkit has been deprecated > Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getFontMetrics(font) I know but I didn't find a non-deprecated way of doing the same thing. > SearchReplaceText.java:304: reference to CharSequence is ambiguous, both > class fr.pixware.util.CharSequence in fr.pixware.util and class > java.lang.CharSequence in java.lang match > private static final REMatch[] getMatchBackward(RE re, CharSequence > chars, XXE has been tested with JDK 1.4 under Linux but has not been compiled using this version of Java. The fr.pixware.util.CharSequence is a JDK 1.3 emulation of JDK 1.4 java.lang.CharSequence. I'll clean up this for next release. Note that the source distribution includes the binary distribution (see subdirectory distrib/) so normally you don't need to compile XXE. However, thanks for reporting these problems. > Anyway, I think xxe is a great product.

We hope to have the time to develop good DTD/XML-Schema+CSS+XSLT[HTML]+XSLT[FO] for often needed XML applications other than the usual DocBook and XHTML (example: email, fax, memo, letter, article, man page, etc). With these resources XXE will be a real quality tool.
