Damien Guillaume has published JAXE, a new XML editor,
written in Java and published under the GPL, for users who want something more than "yet another XML editor
with a tree interface".
Editing document is done -- as you would guess -- in text mode, with the start and
end element tags being displayed differently for block and
in-line elements.
The very straightforward user interface is built on two menu bars: a
generic menu bar giving access to File, Edit and View menus and a specific menu bar for
each document type.
The definition of a document type is done through an XML configuration
document. In addition to defining the specific menu bar, this configuration
gives the location of a W3C XML Schema instance (October 2000 CR in the current
version) and an XSLT transform to visualize the document as HTML.
JAXE is also extensible through defining Java classes called when elements
are added.
