XML Hammer 1.0 rc-3 Released

I am very pleased to announce the release of the third release-candidate of version 1.0 of the XML Hammer application.

The XML Hammer application is a free and open-source tool that simplifies elementary XML actions like checking for well-formedness, validation, transformation and xpath searches using any JAXP implementation.

This release fixes all previously outstanding issues and also adds a native Windows launcher.

The bugs fixed include major issues in the startup scripts, confusing 'internal DTD' terminology and closing of output streams.

There are currently no known issues, to report an issue however you can report this either directly to me, send an e-mail to the mailing-lists or by using the issue tracking system.

XNGR XML Browser 2.0 Features

I am in the process of updating the XNGR XML Browser to be more JAXP, XML and UI guidelines compliant.

At the same time I hope to be able to provide the following new functionality:

  • Associate extension-points with different Node types.
  • Provide Actions without having to provide the Service extension-point.
  • Use a more static way to define a Service or Action.
  • Besides Services or Actions also provide other extension-points like Filters.
  • Allow the creation of different Browser-types which can make use of the same extension points. (bookmarks, explorer, database)

Besides the new functionality, the current components will also need to be updated.

The work is currently still in a very early stage, so any suggestions are more than welcome.
