You could try this:

1) Copy the Windows folder containing XMLmind XML Editor. This folder 
should be %APPDATA%\XMLmind\XMLEditor<MAJOR_VERSION_HERE>\
(Example: C:\Users\Danijel\AppData\Roaming\XMLmind\XMLEditor8\)

2) Paste copied Windows folder anywhere on your Ubuntu computer. For 
example: /opt/XMLEditor<MAJOR_VERSION_HERE>/

3) Make sure a Java runtime is installed on your Ubuntu computer and 
that its Java binaries are found in your $PATH.

Oldest version of Java is best. For example, Java SE 8u401 found here:

https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/#java8-linux

(Java 8 is super solid and works great on my OpenSuSE Linux box.)

Test this installation by running:

$ java -version

4) Delete folder /opt/XMLEditor<MAJOR_VERSION_HERE>/bin/jre64/ (or is it 
/opt/XMLEditor<MAJOR_VERSION_HERE>/bin/jre/ ?) because it contains 
useless Windows binaries.

5) Start XMLmind XML Editor by running the following shell script:

$ /opt/XMLEditor<MAJOR_VERSION_HERE>/bin/xxe

Being a very old version tested against very old versions of Java, we 
cannot guarantee that XMLmind XML Editor will work flawlessly on your 
Ubuntu computer or even that it will work at all.
