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 have the following:

Oxygen XML Editor and Author (Standalone and Eclipse)

Acrolinx for Oxygen Versions

Acrolinx Platform

Supported Oxygen Versions

Supported Operating Systems

Notes

2.3.x

All latest official versions and all versions released within the last 12 months.

25.x, 26.x

Microsoft Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit)

macOS 11 and later

Acrolinx requires Java 11 with JavaFX runtime environment

For the latest updates, see Download Oxygen XML Editor.

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.
