Working with Archive Files
Oxygen XML Developer plugin includes support for working with various types of archives. These include EPUB, OOXML, and ODF files.
When these types of files are opened in the Navigator view or the main editing pane, their internal components are expanded:
- Document content (XHTML and image files).
- Packaging files.
- Container files.
EPUB File Displayed in Eclipse

When an archive is expanded, you can add or delete files that compose the archive
structure. All changes made to the structure of an archive are saved immediately.
You can open
files from within the archive to edit
them in the main editing pane and save changes back to the archive. You can also use
the Open in System
Application action to open the archive in the default system application that is
associated with that type of file.
EPUB-Specific Validation
When working with EPUB archives, Eclipse includes a
Validate action on the toolbar that checks the EPUB archive to make sure the
structure and content are valid. Oxygen XML Developer plugin uses the open-source
EpubCheck validator to perform the validation. This validator detects many types of
errors, including OCF container structure, OPF and OPS mark-up, as well as internal
reference consistency.
