One of the nice things about linux is just executing stuff in /usr/bin/ without having to reset/change paths. Since Windows doesn't include eDE in PATH and eDE doesn't have any path settings prebuilt, what should I do or change to the Windows PATH variable? I'm also using TortoiseSVN to work with DocBook files already on a subversion server. Any issues if I point the eDE repository to my TortoiseSVN working copies? I want to be able to work within my TortoiseSVN directories, validate the DocBook XML, and maybe even produce the output within the same TortoiseSVN work directories. I don't want to make a mess of things and asking in advance.

Nevermind, I must have been sleep deprived. c:\docbook\bat;c:\docbook\bin are added to the path. I think I tried to execute fop, but it's not in the path. Code: D:\svn\SIT213\writeup>xmllint --valid --noout SIT213_doc.xml (valid Docbook XML, after some net download) D:\svn\SIT213\writeup>c:\docbook\fop\fop.bat -xml SIT213_doc.xml -xsl c:\docbook\xsl\fo\docbook.xsl Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/fop/apps/Fop D:\svn\SIT213\writeup>

Have a look at the file c:\docbook\docbook_configuration.bat. Here you can set the directory where project files are put resp. expected. It should not be a problem to integrate eDE with Subversion, you might just have to move around the generated files to fit your Subversion project layout. It would be nice if you got back here and let us and the others know about your achievements.

Sorry, forgot to mention that you can create a custom_configuration.bat file to override configuration settings without changing the original file. See bottom of c:\docbook\bat\docbook_configuration.bat.
