[wtp-incubator-dev] PsychoPath XPath 2.0 Processor

XSL Tools received a code contribution from the author of the PsychoPath XPath 2.0 processor. This is a fairly compliant implementation of XPath 2.0 and will be used as a basis for providing the ability to Validate, and Excecute XPath 2.0 scripts. The XSL Tools editor, as well as the XPath view could both leverage this ability.

The code has been given preliminary approval and is going through IP review with the following CQ:

https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2971

Along with this a separate CQ was submitted to allow us to include and generate the W3C XQuery/Xpath 2.0 test suite to help test the compliance of the PsychoPath processor.

The XPath 2.0 processor is currently housed as a standalone plugin. It has no dependencies on eclipse itself or runtimes. The plugin JAR can be used as a standalone processor, or as a library for other eclipse plugins to use. Potential uses for this beyond XSL Tools, include the incubating XQuery Development Tools project.

The Xpath 2.0 processor's plugin name is:

org.eclipse.wst.xml.xpath2.processor

The test suite will be:

org.eclipse.wst.xml.xpath2.processor.tests

XSL Tools currently has no dependencies on these new plugins. But they will be used to help address the following bug:

There is also a proposed Eclipse Google Summer of Code project to have a student help implement and fix any compliance issues with the processor along with several other XSL Tools related items.
