Arbortext as DITA editor?

Forum topic: Submitted by Pam Fleetman on Thu, 2008-03-06 19:40. Last updated on Fri, 2008-03-07 21:47.

Hi, I'm a tech writer and a new user of DITA. My company says that I can use any DITA editor I want and will buy me an editor (such as Arbortext) if I so choose. I'm wondering whether any of you have any feedback to give me on Arbortext vs. other DITA editors for creating on-line or Web-based Help. I know that JoAnn Hackos promotes the use of Arbortext, given that her new book on DITA uses Arbortext examples throughout.

Installing FrameMaker Adapter for DITA Open Toolkit

I am trying to install the FrameMaker Adapter for the DITA Open Toolkit. I was able to add the DITA-OT application to the structapps.fm file in my FrameMaker 8 installation, but when I tried to generate sample FrameMaker output (step 1.3 in the framemake_adapter_adapter0.8\FrameMaker_adapter\ReadMe.html file) with this command:

ant -Dargs.input="samples\sequence.ditamap" dita2fmxml

I received this message:
