Dear Mike and Jeff

Thank you for your answers. I guess that I have to let go of the wet 
WYSIWYG dream ;) Before I knew anything at all about xml / xsl parsing I 
learned the technology with support from XMLspy. I have switched over to 
Linux and that xml tool is not available anymore. I do all java 
development in JEdit which is a text editor with plenty of fine 
plug-ins. Yesterday, I found out that I can easily run Xalan from the 
Console plug-in and generate the output in a new buffer. This is nothing 
revolutionary but I keep at least all development in one tool, which is 
nice. I generate the raw xml files from Maverick the same way Jeff does. 
JEdit also have a XML plug-in that checks if xml files are well formed 
plus some code aid features.

The bottom line seem to be: <<when you know what you are doing, a text 
editor is the only tool you need.>>
