Java

Oxygen XML Developer requires Java. If you use the native Windows installer, Oxygen XML Developer will be installed with its own copy of Java. If you use the all platforms installer, your system must have a compatible Java virtual machine installed.

Oxygen XML Developer only supports official and stable Java Virtual Machines with the version number 1.6.0 or later (the recommended version is 1.7) from Oracle available at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html. Oxygen XML Developer may work with JVM implementations from other vendors, but there is no guarantee that those implementations will work with future Oxygen XML Developer updates and releases.

Oxygen XML Developer uses the following rules to determine which installed version of Java to use:

  1. If you install using the native Windows installer, which installs a version of Java as part of the Oxygen XML Developer installation, the version in the jre subdirectory of the installation directory is used.
  2. Otherwise, if the Windows environment variable JAVA_HOME is set, Oxygen XML Developer uses the Java version pointed to by this variable.
  3. Otherwise, the version of Java pointed to by your PATH environment variable is used.

If you run Oxygen XML Developer using the batch file, oxygenDeveloper.bat, you can edit the batch file to specify a particular version to use.

Install Using the Windows Installer

To install Oxygen XML Developer using the Windows installer, follow these steps:

  1. Make sure that your system meets the system requirements.
  2. Download the Windows installer.
  3. Validate the integrity of the downloaded file by checking it against the MD5 sum published on the download page.
  4. Run the installer and follow the instructions in the installation program.
  5. Start Oxygen XML Developer using one of the following methods:
    • Using one of the shortcuts created by the installer.
    • By running oxygenDeveloper.bat, which is located in the install folder.
  6. To license your copy of Oxygen XML Developer go to Help ⇒ Register and enter your license information.

Unattended Installation

You can run the installation in unattended mode by running the installer from the command line with the -q parameter. By default, running the installer in unattended mode installs Oxygen XML Developer with the default options and does not overwrite existing files. You can change many options for the unattended installer using the installer command line parameters.
