Integrating the Oxygen XML WebHelp Plugin with the DITA Open Toolkit

The requirements of the Oxygen XML WebHelp plugin for the DITA Open Toolkit are:
  • Java Virtual Machine 1.6 or later
  • DITA Open toolkit 1.6.x, 1.7.x, 1.8, or 2.0 (Full Easy Install)
  • Saxon 9.1.0.8
To integrate the Oxygen XML WebHelp plugin with the DITA Open Toolkit, follow these steps:
  1. Download and install a Java Virtual Machine 1.6 or later.
  2. Download and install DITA Open Toolkit 1.6.x, 1.7.x, 1.8, or 2.0.
  3. Navigate to the plugins directory located in the installation directory of the DITA Open Toolkit.
  4. Copy the com.oxygenxml.webhelp and com.oxygenxml.highlight directories inside the plugins directory. The com.oxygenxml.highlight directory add syntax highlight capabilities to your WebHelp output for codeblock sections that contain source code snippets (XML, Java, JavaScript etc.).
  5. If you are using DITA-OT version 2.0, the WebHelp plugin contains a plugin_2.x.xml which needs to be renamed to plugin.xml.
  6. In the home directory of the DITA Open Toolkit, run ant -f integrator.xml.
  7. Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/saxon/files/Saxon-B/9.1.0.8/, download and unzip the processor.saxonb9-1-0-8j.zip file (contains the Saxon 9.1.0.8).
