XQDT - XQuery Development Tools

Yes! It’s finally happening: XQDT migrates to the Eclipse infrastructure as an Incubator project inside the Web Tools Platform Project. Therefore, this is our last release from xqdt.org.New features in this release:- Zorba debugging infrastructure (This does not work with the latest released version of Zorba - 0.9.8. The development version of Zorba, or the Zorba version shipped with the current Sausalito CoreSDK release is needed);- the possibility to add Java-based XQuery engines (like: MXQuery, Saxon, etc). For details on how to set-up such an engine see: http://mxquery.org/?p=211Important bugs corrected:- infinite loop in the XQuery string lexer when “& was found in the code;- wrong function signatures displayed in the Outline View for functions having the same QName but a different number of parameters.XQDT 2.2 suffered major refactorings and added another dependency to the Faceted Project Framework, so please follow the Update Instructions on the Installation page in case you already have a previous version of XQDT installed.

Thank you all XQDT friends for reporting bugs and helping us make XQDT a better tool.A new minor release is now available for update. Use the update facility in your Eclipse to upgrade your existing version of XQDT. If you don’t have it installed, use our update site to do so (please refer our installation instructions).A couple of bugs corrected that are worth mentioning are:

• XQDT blocking when building workspace;
• XQuery 1.1 grammar bugs and leaks.

Sausalito tools now benefit of a couple of new features:

• module and project import;
• project data import and deployment.

As promised earlier, the MarkLogic Server support (grammar extension and execution environment) is now enable.There is a known issue with the Sausalito semantic checker. This will be corrected in our next release (XQDT 2.2) at the end of this month when a new version of the Sausalito CoreSDK will also be released.Please continue to use XQDT, report bugs, and request new features. If you feel like contributing to our effort, send us a patch and we will be happy to review it and include it in XQDT.

We would like to announce XQDT Version 2.1. This release has the following features:

• huge performance improvements;
• the templates for importing modules now provide completion proposals for namespaces;
• improved outline: includes variables, module declarations;
• support for MarkLogic Server (in addition to Zorba and Sausalito). Due to some IP issues, some of the features were currently disabled but will be available soon.
• bug fixes
