I don't know if this can help but the <invoke> child element of a <process> command can be used to invoke an arbitrary static method written in Java. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/commands/invoke.html Moreover macro-variables may be used to pass useful information to this static method. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/commands/process_variables.html The code of this static method must be found in a .jar files, itself found anywhere inside the 2 addons/ directories scanned by XMLmind XML Editor during its startup. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/lookup_phase.html Please do not forget to disable the quick start cache while you are developing this kind of customization.
