Extension ID
com.castsoftware.dmtxmlscanner
Description
The DMT XML Scanner (com.castsoftware.dmtxmlscanner) extension automatically generates information for the Source Code Delivery report that is available in the CAST Delivery Manager Tool. The extension can be downloaded on its own as a standalone extension and is also shipped and automatically installed with CAST 8.3.x where x ≥ 3.
What does it do
The extension will scan any XML file it encounters during a packaging action (scan phase) in the CAST Delivery Manager Tool and attempts to identify a Document Type Definition (DTD) in the XML file(s). If a valid DTD from a known framework is identified, information about the framework will be provided in the Source Code Delivery report that is available in the CAST Delivery Manager Tool:
