Xerlin 1.0

The Xerlin Project is an open-source "XML modeling application written to make creating and editing XML files easier. It runs on any Java 2 virtual machine (JDK1.2.2 or JDK1.3). The application is extensible via custom editor interfaces that can be added for individual DTD's." According to the project site, "Xerlin contains contributions originally made to the Merlot XML editor project, the open source project on which Xerlin is based" (see previous weblog entries on Merlot).

XML with FileMaker 6

According to a MacInTouch item posted today, FileMaker 6 apparently has shipped to at least one recipient and offers some new functionality related to XML import and export. The FileMaker site doesn't yet mention the new version at the time of this writing, but may be worth keeping an eye on for details; perhaps this may presage a MacWorld NY announcement and release.
