``XMLmind XML Editor freezes'' means that an Exception was thrown. Please try to reproduce the problem with a console and send me what is printed in the console when XXE freezes. [1] Edit XXE_install_dir/bin/xxe.jstart using an UTF-8 capable text editor (e.g. Windows 2000/XP notepad). [2] Replace "start jre\bin\javaw.exe" by "start jre\bin\java.exe". [3] Save this file using the UTF-8 encoding and start XXE by as usual. > Using the F2 key, I get the dialog box where I can enter my name etc and > the programme carries on as you would expect.

For this, to our knowledge, Java 1.4.2+ is required. (Specifying proxy settings using XXE's Options dialog box is a feature which will almost certainly be implemented in the near future.) [1] Edit XXE_install_dir/bin/xxe.jstart using an UTF-8 text editor (e.g. Windows 2000/XP notepad). [2] After line: --- -DXXE_ADDON_PATH="%XXE_ADDON_PATH%" --- add something similar to these lines (the reference is found in: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/net/properties.html): --- -DsocksProxyHost=socks.acme.com -DsocksProxyPort=1080 -Djava.net.socks.username=foo -Djava.net.socks.password=bar --- [3] Save this file using the UTF-8 encoding and start XXE by as usual. By doing this, I'm sure all will run smoothly.
