Re: Useful open-source XML/XSLT editor (was Re: Attempting *not* to copy certain nodes)

I will throw in my resounding vote to jEdit as the BEST opensource editor
out there for a lot of languages, most especially XSLT.  In fact, in many
cases jEdit beats out most pay-to-play text editors in a number of areas.
The fact that it runs well on any platform just adds that much more
credibility.  It has come a long way in a short time and it is my opinion
that jEdit will very soon become the defacto standard for the open-source
development community.

FWIW, I've found Treebeard ( http://treebeard.sourceforge.net/ ) a very
useful tool, easy to install and start using. So far I've also made some
use of Cooktop ( http://www.xmlcooktop.com/ ) though I'd prefer to use
an open source editor. If anyone has one they find as useful, please
post (I've checked Sourceforge, list archives, usenet...).

I use jEdit with the XML and XSLT plug-ins. jEdit is a text editor
written in Java and released under the GPL. The XSLT plug-in includes a
an XPath tool for ad-hoc queries and provices a GUI to Xalan transforms.
The online help is good (even for most plug-ins) and you can see the
source for that as well (it is in DocBook XML).

It is very configurable, maybe too much so for casual users. I've also
used TreeBeard and Cooktop at different times.
