David Hinz - Intel Corporation Intel is excited to have
the <oXygen/>® XML Editor support the Intel® XML Software Suite. As XML
developers are looking to deliver XML and SOA applications, the adoption of the
Intel XML Software Suite will bring unparalleled performance right out of the
box. As Intel continues to enhance the Intel XML Software Suite, the users of
<oXygen/> will be able to extract new benefits seamlessly. This is a "win-win"
for customers of both companies. http://www.intel.com/software/xml

Wendell Piez Maybe it's time to update the endorsement of oXygen that appears under my
name on your web site, as I've been using the product for considerably longer
than six months now. oXygen still hits a sweet spot -- but a wider one than
ever. The feature set, performance and interfaces get better with every release,
while its core virtues remain, including the portability across platforms and
the enlightened licensing (to users, not machines). Bravo for creating a product
that needs no apology.
I've been using <oXygen/> for about six weeks now. I really like it. I
agree with Norm Walsh that it hits a sweet spot. I hope it continues to be
available on all the major platforms: that's a key feature long-term, I
think. Oxygen user mailing list - <oXygen/> wish-list
A recognized expert in the emerging field of Humanities Computing,
Wendell Piez has been working with SGML and XML technologies since 1994. In 1995
he was appointed to the faculty at the internationally-known Center for
Electronic Texts in the Humanities (at Rutgers and Princeton Universities),
where he worked on developing applications of the TEI (Text Encoding Initiative)
and EAD (Encoded Archival Description) SGML DTDs. Since 1998, Dr. Piez has
worked at Mulberry Technologies Inc., designing and building XML systems both
for clients and to support internal processes.
Peter Westwood We develop complex XQueries using SAXON,
Java code extensions and Oracle XML DB. oXygen has given us full debugging and
profiling against our data with out custom code and data sources too. Using it
saves days of development effort in every project we undertake. The queries are
developed more quickly, run faster and more reliably as a result. In diagnosis
of faults with the live data from our client sites it has also proved
invaluable. The included integrated tools for XPath construction,
XML diff, general editing (XML, XQuery, XPath and Schemas) add more value and
the documentation generation is also a great advantage particularly as we
publish our schemas to external parties. Our technical writers even use oXygen
as it has excellent DocBook integration. Support has been first rate offering
prompt help, problem diagnosis and resolution, and suggestions for productivity
improvements. In short I have no hesitation in recommending oXygen
to XML developers at all levels for use with all XML technology! www.energysys.com
Peter is Technical Director of EnergySys, a world leading software
company supplying solutions to the Oil and Gas Industry. His main responsibility
in recent years has been for the architecture of the GAMMA framework, an
innovative and world-leading XML J2EE framework used in the some of the world's
largest Energy Companies. An enterprise software architect by profession and
with more than twenty years of experience in design and development he has a
real zest for technology and the tools that enhance the productivity of the
wider team in developing systems that give clients the competitive edge they
need.
Nader Salman I am extremely pleased to tell you that the
team I conducted and I are working with documents in XML format. With the
increasing popularity of XML, the number of XML editors is growing exponentially
and it can be extremely difficult to choose the convenient editor that suits
NeuroML users. Considering a long list of criteria we've chosen <oXygen/>
for many reasons. The <oXygen/> 7.0 XML editor is an excellent addition to
any professional Web programmer's program suite. It has a very well laid out,
aesthetically pleasing GUI and, where certain other programs in this category
have an old look, this program has that up-to-date quality! Odyssee
research project
Nader is undergraduate Master student in Odyssee research project at
INRIA, Sophia Antipolis (France). He is the creator and main editor of the
kraken engine, an automatic-activity generator using a web XML structure devoted
to scientific web site's creation. He contributed three other students to the
FACETS european project though the realization of the Formalization of the
neuro-biological models for spike neurons.
Michael Friedman I wanted to drop a note of thanks for
your product, Oxygen, and your company. I admire that you offer reduced costs
and licenses for companies which are actively engaged in supporting the
environment and ecology in varying ways. My wife and I just moved to Dallas, and
they do not do curb-side recycling, so we chose Green Mountain as our
electricity provider -- a company which provides 100% renewable resource energy.
So, I choose and appreciate companies with similar interests. I learned about
Oxygen through my new employer -- Innodata-Isogen. We use Oxygen for a great
deal of XML work. I have used Altova's XML Spy up to this point, but really
enjoy the features Oxygen provides and the lower cost, as well as the focus on
our planet. I just purchased a license for the personal version + 1 year of
maintenance -- and glad to do it! Michael Friedman's web
log
Michael Friedman is interested in all things publishing and technology
related. His current favorite topic is automated publishing using XML and
associated technologies. Specifically, he's working on exploring moving from
layout-based publishing systems to standards-based systems from a visual design
and technology perspective. When not pursuing such concepts, he is an advocate
of space exploration, nature conservation, and innovation in general. Michael
works as a Design Analyst for Innodata-Isogen, Inc.
Kurt Cagle My favorite XML editor is becoming scary good.
I've been an Oxygen convert for a long time, and every iteration it just seems
to get better and better. The Oxygen XML 7.0 Editor has just been released by
SyncRO Soft Ltd., and already its reached the stage where I find it very, very
difficult to shift back to the older version. Oxygen has been in a continual
state of evolution, since I first encountered it as a 3.0 product, and it seems
like even minor upgrades brings significant improvements to the application.

David Mertz One tool I have grown quite fond of is the
Java-based XML editor, <oXygen/>. I have reviewed this product in the past, and
since then it has continued to get better. In addition to being one of the first
XML editors to incorporate RELAX NG support, the newest version of <oXygen/>
now includes a nice set of TEI templates -- just select one, and <oXygen/>
creates a document skeleton (and assists you in validation and tag entry as you
go along). But most impressive of all, the XSL-FO stylesheets that also come
bundled just work. I was able to create a couple of nice looking PDFs out of my
TEI tests without spending hours configuring tool chains and reading obscure
HOWTO-s. IBM developerWorks article - XML Matters: TEI -- the Text Encoding
Initiative
David has published hundreds of articles and column installments with
IBM developerWorks, Intel Developer Services, Webreview.com, and other
publishers. David writes two columns for IBM developerWorks. One on Python
topics, called Charming Python and the other is called XML Matter, and is on
matters XML. You may find archived versions of all of David's writing at

Kurt Cagle My goal was to produce a user interface that has
basic similarities to my current favorite XML editor, Oxygen
(http://www.oxygenxml.com/). I had first encountered Oxygen when I was playing
around with Eclipse, and soon became enamored of it. You can easily assign
schemas or DTDs to XML to get full intellisense functionality, you could
customize the XSLT engine so that it could easily use third party tools such as
Saxon (something that was VERY useful for working with XSLT 2.0), it has a
first-class debugger, and it is quite reasonably priced ($79, last I checked).
Moreover, it integrates cleanly with Oxygen, and is the first XML tool of any
quality that works as well in Linux as it does in Windows. Kurt

Paul Everitt I've been using XSLT a lot in the last year.
