Adding buttons and keyboard shortcuts for SDL actions in Oxygen

Hi everyone,

I am configuring Oxygen Author for my TechComm department. My group has requested that I create a button bar to provide buttonized access to the SDL plugin actions (for example, check in/out, insert conref/variable/condition, etc). In addition, they also would like to link hotkey shortcuts to the SDL functions as well.

The problem that I have encountered is that the SDL plugin operations of interest do not appear in the list of ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.AuthorOperation classes. I see that TrisoftPlugin.jar is listed among the detected classpaths and I verified that the classes are present within the JAR file, but nonetheless the classes are not listed.

Before I create my own plugin to call the actions in the TrisoftPlugin.jar file, I was wondering if anybody in the user community has already created a solution for a similar project? If so, would you be open to sharing your solution?

Thanks,
josh
