I would like to be able to export my User Specified Entries from the XML Catalog (Preferences -> MyEclipse -> Editors -> XML -> XML Catalog) in order to share the entries with other developers. When I select “Advanced…” -> “Export…” and specify a file name, the following file gets generated:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<XMLCatalogSettings>
  <UserEntries>
  </UserEntries>
</XMLCatalogSettings>

I have three entries defined in the preferences, but there are none in the catalog file. As a workaround until this is fixed, what is the format of this file so I can create it manually?

Thanks,
Eric

Eric,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I’ve filed a PR to get this fixed in a subsequent release. It appears the format for a user entry is:

<UserEntry ID= "key" URI="..." TYPE="SYSTEM|PUBLIC" WEB_URL="..." />

Appreciate the quick reply. Now that I’m able to use these files, it seems that Import doesn’t work as well. After I import, I have no User Entries at all (even the ones that were there are gone).

As an aside, from what I’ve seen, you guys have one of the best support organizations of any commercial product I’ve worked with – friendly, responsive, knowledgeable and helpful. Keep up the good work!

I was afraid of that. We annotated the bug report to fix export and *then* fix import. 🙂

*blush* Well, we try. Now I just need to forward this thread to our boss. 😉
