Hi,
In the class XSDResourceImpl there is a method caled
findSchemas and handleSchemaElement.Can you please explain
the use/functionality of these methods.
Also in the method handleSchemaElement there is a method
parameter called boolean 'isMeta',what does it signify?

Typically the schema would be the root element, but in a WSDL document,
there are embedded schemas. This method searches the DOM tree for
<schema> elements from the schema namespace.

That method is called for each <schema> element. An XSDSchema is
created and the <schema> element is associated with that XSDSchema
instance so that the correspond EMF XSD model can be created to
correspond to the structure specified in the DOM.

In XSDSchemaImpl the framework needs to manage the special XML Schema
for Schemas, which is the meta schema for all instance schemas. This
schema defines all the built-in simple type definitions and those are
needed by all other non-meta schemas.
