BaseX and oXygen

Hi,
I remember, that I was able to run BaseX as execution engine for the oXygenXML XQuery editor. This seems to be impossible since a few oXygen versions. All that's left is the WebDAV part. I did not manage to run my old config, creating new ones did not help either.
I remember having read a post by Michael Kay, who seemed to have some problems with XQJ not being up-to-date and some licensing issues making it impossible to fork/update or something like that.
The bug-tracker and mailing-list links on the XQJ site are dead as well.

Hi Andreas,
It is still be possible. Execution is all about the XQJ connection and a transformation scenario using it.
Just tested it with my setup in oXygen 20.1 and a BaseX 9.0.2 server running as backend.
The problem is: This is by design limited to XQuery 1.0. No maps, no arrays, no string concatenation operator and other things missing. There may be "old style" function equivalents but it is cumbersome.
I stopped using oXygen for BaseX XQuery for those reasons. I'm happy with the GUI.
Best regards
Omar Siam

Oh, okay, then I am going to recheck what I may have done wrong. Maybe I just had an xquery version string in my code when I tested the last time.
I also use the GUI, which is pretty good, but oXygen would be gooder :-)
Thanks for clarifying.
