Before You Install

Check our Compatibility Guide if you want to know whether Acrolinx for Oxygen Eclipse works with your local platforms.

Before you install Acrolinx for Oxygen Eclipse, make sure that you've installed the following:

Acrolinx for Oxygen Eclipse

Acrolinx Platform

Oxygen XML Editor Eclipse Plugin

Java Runtime Environment (JRE)

2.0, 2.1

2021.12 or later

Note

If you want to highlight referenced content, you'll need Acrolinx Platform version 2022.05 or later.

22.x, 23.x, 24.x

Note

Windows users who aren't on Windows 11 also need to download and install WebView 2 from Microsoft. This is because the Sidebar now uses Microsoft Edge Chromium instead of Internet Explorer. You can download WebView 2 from Microsoft Edge Developer.

If you use Linux or macOS, nothing changes for you. You won't need to download WebView 2.

Install as a Dropin

If you use Oxygen Eclipse with a CMS such as Ixiasoft, Acrolinx provides a dropin package that you can install just like any other dropin. Get the Acrolinx for Oxygen dropin from your company download area.
