New Document Wizard

Oxygen XML Developer plugin supports a wide range of document types. The New Document wizard presents the default associations between a file extension and the type of editor that opens the file. The New Document wizard only creates a skeleton document. It may contain a root element, the document prolog, and possibly other child elements depending on options that are specific for each schema type.

The Oxygen XML Developer plugin includes a series of Eclipse wizards for easy document creation. If you use these wizards, Oxygen XML Developer plugin automatically completes the following details:

  • The system ID or schema location of a new XML document.
  • The minimal markup of a DocBook article, or the namespace declarations of a Relax NG schema.
