I recently discovered XML Mind for editing HTML, DocBook, DITA files.
I had installed the Java version in my Linux Fedora 24 and it was
working just great. I created a 'Java Applications' folder to access
each XML Mind module for different types of files. I would go into the
folder that I need at the time, HTML or DocBook, then right-click on
'xxe' and a box of choices would show 'run in terminal', 'display',
'run'. I chose 'run' and XML Mind would load just fine.
After upgrading Fedora to version 26, when I right click all I get is
'run software' and the hard drive does not load XML Mind.
As a side note, I tried to use the Java Iced Tea Web Control Panel and
Iced Tea Web Policy Editor to load XML Mind from an icon but that
didn't do anything for me.
'xxe' is a shell script, and yes I do have it set to executable in
Permissions. Still nothing is loaded.
If I go to the command prompt and type the path to the xxe and then type
xxe, the software does load.
I'm sorry but I cannot help you as this really seems to be a Linux
Fedora issue.
We don't use Linux Fedora here at XMLmind Software, just openSUSE (for
historical reasons).
XMLmind XML Editor being a 100% Java application, it should run fine on
any platform where (preferably Oracle and not OpenJDK) Java has been
installed.
Latest Java 8 (e.g.
https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html#JDK8
) strongly recommended; Java 9, 10 are obsolete; Java 11 triggers a
couple of GUI glitches which are fixed in forthcoming XMLmind XML Editor
v8.3.
However I would suggest to take a serious look at the
"<XXE_install_dir>/bin/xxe" shell script. May the shell used by default
by Fedora 26 (is it bash or dash?) does not "like" the
"<XXE_install_dir>/bin/xxe" shell script anymore.
Excerpts from the "<XXE_install_dir>/bin/xxe" shell script:
---
#!/bin/sh
set +u
os=`uname -s`
if [ "$os" = "Linux" ]; then
scriptFile=`readlink -f "$0"`
else
scriptFile="$0"
fi
dist=`dirname "$scriptFile"`
