Of course, I downloaded and installed it as soon as I could, having waited for an upgrade since <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">8.2<\/span> came out, some six months ago. I&#8217;ve written about <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Oxygen<\/span> before; it&#8217;s the first decent <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">XSL IDE<\/span> available for Linux, and the more I&#8217;ve used it, the more I&#8217;ve come to depend on it. See, what I especially like is the fact that I no longer need <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Microsoft Windows<\/span> to do my <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">XML\/XSL<\/span> work. <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Oxygen<\/span> works very well in <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Debian\/GNU Linux<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>And now, it looks like I can finally re-evaluate my <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">XML<\/span> editor needs, too. So far, I&#8217;ve run <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">XMetaL<\/span> in <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">wine<\/span>, which kind of works except that right-clicking the workspace still crashes the program (but that&#8217;s fairly OK since I seldom need to right-click anything while writing). As most things in <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">wine<\/span>, it&#8217;s beta quality, no more.<\/p>\n<p>Now, however, <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Oxygen 9.0<\/span> comes with a semi-<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">WYSIWYG<\/span> view, with <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">CSS<\/span> formatting and start- and end tag symbols, making it the first real alternative to running <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Windows<\/span> software in <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">wine<\/span>. It is reasonably fast, too, from what I&#8217;ve seen so far, and certainly more stable than anything run in <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">wine<\/span>. You do need an official <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Sun Java<\/span> <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">JRE<\/span>, though; it will complain if you use some of the Java replacements available for Linux, and it doesn&#8217;t work with the <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">GNU libgcj Java Virtual Machine<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll give it a more thorough test run within the next week or so, but I&#8217;m hoping that it can deliver what it promises.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Version 9.0 of my favourite XSL IDE, Oxygen, was released yesterday.
