Error accessing Wizard after install of Compound XML Document Toolkit   

This could be that you installed that latest build that requires JRE/JDK 1.5.

See Visual XForms Editor post

Are you using the new CXDTK and the older JRE 1.4?

Let me know if does, or does not, fix your problem.

R. Hummer,

Everything seems in order, perhaps try with a fresh workspace to see.

Is there any messages in the Error Log? Access it through Windows->View->Other...->PDE Runtime->Error Log. Also, go to Help->About->Configuration Details and provide java.vm.* property values.

Thank you for your prompt reply!

After taking a look into the error log I realized that the WST-package was missing.
Now everything works fine!

It appears that you are really using JRE 1.4. Ensure that you either a) have the 1.5 JRE in PATH first or b) use -vm flag when starting Eclipse like, eclipse.exe -vm "c:\program files\java\jre1.5.0_07\bin\javaw.exe"

Hope that helps,
Steve

I'm a bit puzzled too, how did you navigate to that demo? That's a fairly old demo of the first release of the Compound XML Document Editor but we not longer have XUL support. We came to the concensus that XUL is not a 'compound XML document' though rather just a 'XML document' format.

Is there a specific XUL compound XML document profile that you had in mind? I'd be interested in hearing from all users if there is interest in just XUL or XUL+???

To answer your last question, it is possible to add support for XUL yourself. If you wish to have it added to be integrated with CXDTK, then see:

If you want to just have directed editing and schema validation, then using WTP should be enough (either registering the XUL xsd/dtd within the XML Catalog or simply having xsi:schemaLocation in your XUL source).
