For those who want to jump the gun, we've found that XMLMind for 1.4.1
works fine out of the box on Mac OS X (for playing around with it,
anyway; we haven't tried to do Real Work yet), though without the
niceties of a double-clickable app and any other porting work the team
might do to make it more X-friendly.
On my system, two things have been done to make it easy to run and use.
I created an application.command file in the XXE directory so I can
double-click to run:
#! /usr/bin/perl -w
use FindBin qw ($Bin); # Sets $Bin to the directory containing the
script.
system("$Bin/xxe");
And a Java-savvy colleague altered the last line of the xxe file to
make the menu behave as expected in OS X:
java -Dcom.apple.mrj.application.apple.menu.about.name="XMLmind"
-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar="true" -Dxml.catalog.files="$XXE_CATALOGS"
-DXXE_PLUGIN="$XXE_PLUGIN" -DXXE_CONFIG="$XXE_CONFIG" -Xss1m -classpath
$cp com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.app.Start "$@"
I hope this is helpful and that I'm not overstepping my bounds!
