Understood.

Please note that we have no connection whatsoever with the author Alain 
Pierrot, who happens to be just one of our customers.

I don't think any custom Java code which compiled successfully against 
XXE v3 codebase could compile (or dynamically load) successfully against 
XXE v9 codebase.

The "java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException" exception you reported 
below is just another issue illustrating this.

However, porting this custom Java code to XXE v9 should be pretty 
straightforward as we basically renamed some classes and some packages 
(e.g. com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.docbook --> com.xmlmind.xmleditext.docbook).

That's right.

My guess is that your "artikel.css" contains directly or indirectly 
(i.e. @import "SOMETHING.css" or @import "SOMETHING.imp") the following 
statement:

@extension "com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.docbook.TableSupport true";

which must be replaced by:

@extension "com.xmlmind.xmleditext.docbook.TableSupport true";

The above statement is found in our stock:
XXE_install_dir/addon/config/docbook/css/html_cals_table.imp

Better recommendation below though.

You got 3 custom configurations discovered and loaded by XXE.

Some custom code successfully discovered and loaded by XXE.

docbook-xsl-saxon.jar, docbook.jar are already found in the 
distribution. Therefore not only these are not useful but also could 
break XXE.

docbook-xsl-saxon.jar, docbook.jar are already found in the 
distribution. Therefore not only these are not useful but also could 
break XXE v9.

Duplicate custom code?

--> Given the above very useful report, we strongly recommend:

1) To reinstall XXE v9 and to completely delete your 
C:\Users\MadlikM\AppData\Roaming\XMLmind\ to get a fresh, stable, start.

2) To port your customizations *by* *the* *book* to XXE v9 starting from 
the Java and XML source files.

- While doing this, please do not duplicate any .jar file already found 
in the stock distribution.

- While doing this, please do not bother with low-level declarations 
like @extension "com.xmlmind.xmleditext.docbook.TableSupport true";

Instead simply start your "artikel.css" with:

@import url(docbook-config:css/docbook.css);

then add your own styles.

This is precisely what we call "by the book".
* "XMLmind XML Editor - Configuration and Deployment", 
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/index.html
* "XMLmind XML Editor - Developer's Guide"
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/dev/index.html

3) Once you have done this, to copy your configurations and your .jar 
files *only* *to* 
C:\Users\MadlikM\AppData\Roaming\XMLmind\XMLEditor9\addon\ln\ to clear 
the quick start cache and to start XXE.

Notice the ln\ subdirectory which itself may contain sub-subdirectories 
and files artikel\ , aktuelles\, handbuch\, xxe_ln.jar, etc.

In our opinion, this is the only way to obtain a simple, reliable, 
maintainable, customization.
