FAQ:

Q: What Java version is required ?

A: Minimum SUN J2RE 1.5+

Q: How can I create an UBL document ?

A: By choosing an UBL schema from a Catalog or directly by selecting a suitable schema from the "File" menu.
The use of a Catalog is preferred as it is configured to allow full UBL editor experience with genericode code lists and help info on elements.

Q: How can I remove an element ?

A: If the element is not mandatory you can remove it from the "Edit" menu.

Limits:

• Only UBL Schemas are allowed
• It is not a generic XML editor with this license.
• Do not validate codelist at the moment
• UBL Extensions are not allowed at the moment (only a 1st part of its definition is possible)
• Keyboard use is limited to few standard GUI actions.

Bug Fixies:

• Unix and Mac users are unable to use the product due to a different defaut path using Java Web Start deployment (JP1-1.0B1)
• After 1st install the Workspace is generated but the program is not synchronized to use it (workaround: reload the software from the desktop icon). (JP1-1.0B2)
• The system log is erroneously created on the user desktop (Windows only) (JP1-1.0B3)
• A noisy 'empty' UBLSwinger.properties file is generated on the user desktop (Windows only) (JP1-1.0B4)

Future developments (TODO):

• Full validation (Schematron - codelist)
• Internationalization
• and more...
