Classpath Tab

The Classpath tab displays a list of folders and JAR libraries that hold implementations for API extensions, implementations for custom Author mode operations, various resources (such as stylesheets), and framework translation files. Oxygen XML Author loads the resources looking in the folders in the order they appear in the list.

To open the Classpath tab of the Document type configuration dialog box, open the Preferences dialog box (Options ⇒ Preferences), go to Document Type Association, use the New, Edit, Duplicate, or Extend button, and click on the Classpath tab.

The Classpath tab includes the following actions:

New

Opens a dialog box that allows you to add a resource to the table in the Classpath tab. You can specify the path by using the text field, its history drop-down, the Insert Editor Variables button, or the browsing tools in the Browse drop-down list.

Tip

The path can also contain wildcards (for example, ${framework}/lib/*.jar).

Edit

Opens a dialog box that allows you to edit a resource in the Classpath tab. You can specify the path by using the text field, its history drop-down, the Insert Editor Variables button, or the browsing tools in the Browse drop-down list.

Tip

The path can also contain wildcards (for example, ${framework}/lib/*.jar).

Delete

Deletes the currently selected resource from the list.

Move Up

Moves the selected resource up one spot in the list.

Move Down

Moves the selected resource down one spot in the list.
