I'm affraid this cannot work due to a limitation of Apple's Java[tm]
launcher on the Mac.
There is no way to specify in XXE's Info.plist (see attachment): ``Java
property XXE_ADDON_PATH is equals to the value of environment variable
XXE_ADDON_PATH, if any''.
The workaround is obvious but horrible: open the Info.plist file found
deep inside the XMLEditor.app bundle and using a text editor add the
following key/string elements:
---
<key>Properties</key>
<dict>
...
<key>XXE_ADDON_PATH</key>
<string>@http://www.sitepoint.com/books/xxe_config/configs.list;+</string>
...
</dict>
