Does anybody know what happened to Fivesight's XPathTester?
It's not available from their website for some time now.
This tool has it's problems and limitations, but I consider
it more useable than browser based solutions like the
mentioned XPath Visualizer. I use it to teach XPath to my students.
What other packages does it need please?
The version I have is self-contained: it just needs Java.
As it appears to be covered by a license to copy, I have put
my copy at http://oimelc.ucc.ie/dtds/xpathtester_1_4_saxon.jar
$ java -jar xpathtester_1_4_saxon.jar
It has a habit of looking in strange places for DTDs, like the
directory the .jar file lives in, rather than the directory the
document instance lives in, but I think that was FiveSight's
unfamiliarity with convention. Otherwise it seems to work OK.
