Hi,
while the BaseX GUI is really great, there are times I want to use Oxygen (for its features or even for a silly reason like "hey why is there no dark mode in BaseX-GUI I need a dark mode now because I have eye strain!").
According to the wiki, there is no way to get 3.1 support in Oxygen because of the limitation of the XQJ interface? So when I add a scenario with BaseX as transformer I can get Oxygen to respect any BaseX modules (and care for adding else instructions even if they are empty), but in the end it will always give me "invalid syntax, does not pass static validation".
Or is there some button I have been missing?
Thanks, Daniel

Unfortunately, the XQJ API license is restricted to XQuery 1.0, so we’ll need to live with it (until someone feels a vocation to write a custom BaseX/oXygen plugin?).
However, Reece’s IntelliJ plugin is very up-to-date and supports all version-specific varieties and gimmicks of BaseX [1]. Did you give it a try?

Perfectly understandable ;) On Windows, I like to use NegativeScreen [2], which enables you to define custom conversion matrixes. BaseX additionally provides support for extra Look and Feel interfaces, including dark ones [3]. On some Linux systems, BaseX will switch to dark mode if a global dark environment is chosen.
Hope this helps
Christian

Thanks Christian for the confirmation of this behaviour and the useful hints. I have not tried the IntelliJ plugin but I will! Also interesting feature on Linux desktops, I have to try this.
Best Daniel

Hi Daniel,
Indeed our default Oxygen BaseX connector does not support running XQuery 3.0 or 3.1 through the XQJ API:
https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/23.1/ug-editor/topics/xquery-execution-basex.html
There is a third party Oxygen add-on for BaseX created by the company Axxepta:
http://argon-author.com/
The add-on is free to install and use, maybe you can try it, it may support more advanced XQuery execution.
Regards,
Radu

Written for BaseX 9.6. BaseX may have changed since: please check the current documentation.
