bin/xxe.exe, xxe.jstart

File xxe.exe is used to start XXE on Windows. This .exe file is a home-made launcher parameterized by xxe.jstart, an UTF-8 encoded, plain text file.

bin/xxe, xxe-c.bat

Scripts used to start XXE. Use xxe on Linux and on the Mac. Use xxe-c.bat on Windows, but only when you need to start XXE with a console. On Windows, a console is needed to be able to see low-level error messages, for example, when developing custom configurations or extensions.

bin/xxeconvert, xxeconvert.bat

Scripts used to run xxeconvert. This command-line utility can be used convert XML documents to other formats (HTML, PDF, RTF, etc) from within a script or a makefile in the exact same way as in the "Convert Document" submenus of XXE.

See The xxeconvert command-line utility for more information about this tool.

bin/xmltool, xmltool.bat

Scripts used to run xmltool. See The xmltool command-line utility for more information about this tool.

Scripts allowing to generate an authorization token for use by XXE. See command-line option -auth for more information about these authorization tokens.

bin/*.jar

All the Java™ class libraries needed to run XXE:

  • xxe.jar contain the code of XXE.

    Substantial parts of xsdregex.jar, James Clark's XSD to Java Regular Expression Translator, have been directly added to xxe.jar (which is why file xsdregex.jar is not included in the distribution). Download original package from http://www.thaiopensource.com/download/.

    Package com.jclark.xsl.expr contains the implementation of XPath 1.0 used by XT, James Clark's XSLT engine. A modified version of this package, renamed com.xmlmind.xml.xpath, has been directly added to xxe.jar (which is why file xt.jar is not included in the distribution). Download full XT from http://www.jclark.com/xml/xt-old.html or from http://www.blnz.com/xt/index.html.

  • xerces.jar contains XML parser Apache Xerces2 Java to version 2.12.2. (The version included in the Java™ runtime has bugs which have been fixed in bundled version.)

  • xmlresolver.jar contains XMLResolver, an enhanced XML resolver with XML Catalog support.

  • relaxng.jar is Jing version 20030619, James Clark's RELAX NG validator, slightly modified for use in XXE. The details of the modifications are found in relaxng.README.
