Easy eLML - Lesson Converter

Introduction

Easy eLML provides an easy (sic!) to use crossplatform compatible interface to the various tools, XML parsers, XSLT transformers, which serve behind the scenes of eLML to produce an e-learning lesson. The main objective of Easy eLML is to make the installation and setup process of eLML for end users as straightforward as possible. So among other things, it's not mandatory anymore to have eclipse and/or an XML editor installed to produce a valid e-learning lesson out of a XML file. Instead open source editions of different parsers/transformers are batteries included. Easy eLML remembers user decisions and workspace locations, and allows a centralized management of the various other helpers in the eLML framework as for example "Firedocs Editor". Easy eLML should therefore not be seen as yet another tool for eLML but as an inegrative platform for the existing toolset.
