Re: [xsd-dev] Login to newsgroup

["Ed Merks" <merks@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Mik,

You need to register for a password to all the Eclipse newsgroup at this
page:

   http://www.eclipse.org/newsgroups/index.html

The runtime dependencies for using XSD standalone consist of the correct
level of Xerces, the core parts of the EMF runtime and the XSD runtime
itself;  no Eclipse library, other than EMF, are needed, i.e.,
org.eclipse.core.resources is not needed:

   http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/indextech.cgi/~checkout~/xsd-home/faq.html#install_classpath

I would say that the majority of the XSD clients use it for standalone and,
other than matching Xerces levels, the dependencies don't seem to be common
cause for concern; EMF and XSD are not very big.  In the 2.0 stream, we
expect that EMF and Eclipse itself will step up to JDK 1.4.x, which
includes Xerces directly, so that will eliminate that need for a special
Xerces plugin.  We also expect to provide more convenient packaging that
will allow standalone clients to do one-stop shopping rather than having to
collect the dependencies.  Eclipse is tending to become as much a runtime
provider and a tools provider.

Hey folks,

Two small questions:

    * I was wondering how I could get access to the
      eclipse.technology.xsd - newsgroup., both the newsgroup itself as
      the web interface needs authentication. Is there maybe somewhere I
      need to register?
    * On a more technical note: is there anyone who uses the xsd-library
      standalone, so as a DOM like API to . It seems to be quite
      complicated/heavy to keep up to date with new versions because of
      the rather strange dependencies (emf.*, ecore, ecdlipse.resources,
      ...). What is your experience with this?

Thanks a lot,

Mik
