Certainly not! Click on the next ``button'' in the generated HTML or use
table of content. Read:
2. Deploying XXE
2.1. XML catalogs
2.2. Plug-ins
2.3. Configuration files <--- Most important section
in your case

You must configure all your client PCs in order to have the following
environments variables set to proper values. If this is done
intelligently, this is done once for all, even if you often need to
change your XXE configurations on the server side. For example:
set XXE_CATALOGS=http://www.bruggencate.com/xxe/config/catalog.xml
set XXE_PLUGIN=http://www.bruggencate.com/xxe/plugin/bsh_scripting.jar
set xxe_conf...@http://www.bruggencate.com/xxe/config.list

+- Read the Power User's Guide to
learn about this '@', which is
indispensable when config files
and plug-ins are administered
on the server side and not on
the client side.
Once this is done, your users will access the remote configurations
centralized on your www.bruggencate.com server rather than the bundled
configurations found in the (client-side) XXE distribution.
However, currently this will only work with xxe.bat. There is a bug in
the launcher accessed from the start menu (XMLmind_XML_Editor.exe) which
prevents it to use these environment variables. This bug is already
fixed and the fix will be available in next release.

Current version of XXE V2 is *totally incompatible* with Java WebStart.
Compatibility with Java WebStart is a planned feature (see
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/features.html#planned) which will be
available in Professional Edition only, as almost all planned features.

No, this does not work this way for now (read *all* sections of
"Deploying XXE" in the "Power's User Guide") and will not work this way
when XXE will be compatible with Java WebStart.
