xxe [-putpref key value]* [-putprefs property_file_or_URL]* [-delpref key]*
    ( [file_or_URL_to_be_opened]* | -last )

First file_or_URL_to_be_opened may be preceded by -open or -print, which are ignored. This may be useful when XXE is started by Java™ Web Start. Example: "javaws http://www.acme.com/xxe/xxe.jnlp -open /docs/doc.xml".

-putpref key value

Adds or replace preference specified by key/value to the set of the user's preferences.

The set of the user's preferences is stored in XXE_user_preferences_dir/preferences.properties and is normally modified using the Preferences dialog box.

The description of each option includes a short description of the corresponding preference key. For example, in the case of the Encoding option, the preference key is encoding. Example:

xxe -putpref encoding Windows-1252

Note

XXE user preferences directory is:

$HOME/.xxe4/ on Linux.
$HOME/Library/Application Support/XMLmind/XMLEditor4/ on the Mac.
%APPDATA%\XMLmind\XMLEditor4\ on Windows 2000, XP, Vista.
Example: C:\Documents and Settings\john\Application Data\XMLmind\XMLEditor4\ on Windows 2000 and XP. C:\Users\john\AppData\Roaming\XMLmind\XMLEditor4\ on Windows Vista.

-putprefs property_file_or_URL

Similar to -putpref except that several key/value pairs may be read from specified property file. Example:

xxe -putprefs /etc/xxe/preferences.properties

-delpref key

Removes preference specified by key from the set of the user's preferences.

-last

Forces XXE to reopen the last document opened during the preceding editing session. Note that this option cannot be used when one or more file_or_URL_to_be_openeds have been specified.

See also the "Automatically reopen last opened document" option for a handy alternative.
