Yes. However there is no need to change anything in xxe.jar. How to extensively change the GUI of XXE is explained here: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/gui/alternate_base_gui_spec.html Also note that "XMLmind XML Editor - Customizing the User Interface" contains direct references to all the stock GUI files, so there is no need to browse the contents of xxe.jar.

You need to redefine this standard binding in your customize.xxe file: <binding> <mousePressed button="3"/> <command name="editMenu"/> </binding> See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/binding.html See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/commands/editMenu.html And most importantly, see http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/commands/menu_reference.html -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
