XML Editor & XMLEditorKit FAQ What has XML got to do with Software Design Patterns? Read the QWAN Home Page, look at the presentations look at our tools strategy, if you have any questions, email me at Ray's email Why two product lines? XML Tools and DesignByPatterns ! This is mainly historical, we started building Design pattern tools, and ultimately we will completed our Design Pattern tools, but along the way we realized if we can harness XML, XSLT and XQuery, all of its tools (as a side-effect), and build the ones we needed then we would have an ubiquitous XML solution to building Design Pattern Implementations |

Are any of the DesignByPatterns products available? NO - they are still under development. I believe that Design Patterns should not be commercially exploited, are you just using Design Patterns to sell XMLTools? Not at all. We have spent over 3 years researching Design Patterns and have not made one cent from our work, we built the XML Editor because we needed an extensible JFC XML Editor we could use to exploit our ideas for Design Patterns with XML and XSLT, and to be honest with you , none of the free or commercial editors on the market made the grade. We also saw the need for a commercial Swing-based XMLEditor and XMLEditorKit. Our hope is the XMLEditor will fund our further research and development. Are you selling an XMLEditor or an XMLEditorKit.? Both.The XMLEditor is built using the XMLEditorKit, view the XMLEditor as a car and the XMLEditorKit as an engine. We are selling the car, but you can also take out and use the engine in your own car. The XMLEditorKit is standalone set of classes that can be used by any Java Swing application to edit, author or process XML. It provides the core set of classes and functions required to build Editors for XML, and its many derivatives. The XMLEditor is a sample XML Editor that was built on top of the XMLEditorKit and uses the XMLEditorKits' capabilities. I don't understand your licensing The "XMLEditor and XMLEditorKit Software" License contains 2 Java Archive File (jar)
If you need to install XMLEditor on 20 computers then you need 20 "XMLEditor and XMLEditorKit Software" Licenses If you need to install only the XMLEditorKit on 20 computers then you still need 20 "XMLEditor and XMLEditorKit Software" Licences A good way to look at this is you only pay for the XMLEditorKit, and you get the XMLEditor for free. Do I have to buy 10 copies of XMLEditor to use XMLEditorKit on 10 computers? Yes Do I have to buy 10 copies of XMLEditor to use XMLEditor on 10 computers? Yes Do you have any discounts for volume purchases? Yes I want a CD-ROM rather than a download. Currently the software is only available via download, We will provide CD's at a later date (we may have to add sales tax to your order) please call Customer Service with your requirements I prefer using Open Source Software Sorry, this is a commercial product, competitively priced, send us your requirements, use our questionnaire, we are willing to work with our customers to add any features that they require. We can even build your custom editors if you prefer. What is the XMLEditorKit anyway? Consists of a set of classes that extend the functionality Swing's DefaultStyledDocument and DefaultEditorKit
So what's the big deal - what advantages do I have using your XMLEditorKit? The main advantage is that the product is based solely on the design and implementation of the core javax.swing.text package, you do not need to know how to write some vendor plug-in or some funky messaging scheme or vendor architecture We have implemented the following Features and Actions
Where are the API's for the editorkit documented? Under Javadoc package com.qwan.xmleditorkit What's your return policy?
