Installation Notes
The XXE XML editor is a Java-based graphical XML editor that makes editing XML and DocBook documents as easy as word processing. It's available for Windows, Mac and Linux, among others.
The Standard Edition of XXE is free from XMLmind. Get it here.
For Linux, download the .tar.gz file.
To install, move the file to /usr/local/bin and extract:
su - #su to root
mv ~<username>/Desktop/xxe-perso-3_7_1.tar.gz /usr/local/bin/
#move the downloaded file
cd /usr/local/bin/ #change to /usr/local/bin/
tar -xzvf xxe-std-3_5_0.tar.gz #extract
mv xxe-std-3_5_0 xxe #rename the folder
rm xxe-std-3_5_0.tar.gz #remove the distribution file
chown -R root.root xxe #change the ownership
If you have ImageMagick installed, you can create a PNG icon useful in Gnome like this:
convert /usr/local/bin/xxe/bin/icon/xxe.tiff \ /usr/local/bin/xxe/bin/icon/xxe.png
If you need to install ImageMagick, do this as root (Ubuntu/Debian):
apt-get install imagemagick
Don't try to run the editor as root as you may get a Java error compaining about the X11 DISPLAY variable.
exit #IF you are still root
Start the editor with this command:
/usr/local/bin/xxe/bin/xxe
I also suggest creating a menu item. In Gnome:
- right-click the Applications menu
- choose Edit Menus
- click Applications on the left
- then New Item
- don't forget to select an icon
Don't worry if the menu item doesn't immediately show up in your menu. You will probably have to log out, then back in for it to become visible.
XML Conversions
In Ubuntu and Debian Linux distributions, you can install some XML conversion tools:
sudo apt-get install xml2
