Eclipse. My undersanding from the prior posts on eclipse.technology.xsd is
that the XML Editor is not in the charter of this project.

+ Is there another project that I should approach regarding the editor.
This is a common request on eclipse.technology.xsd

+ Are there any samples that I can be refered to on how one would go about
building an XML Editor in Eclipse.

Thanks.

Viraf,

I think there is some consideration being given to making some of the WSAD XML
technology be part of Eclipse open source, but that could just be a vicious
rumor, so don't quote me.

There are currently no Eclipse projects I know of that would provide support
for an XML Editor.

The Sample XML Schema Editor is an example of a Eclipse Editor. Also, the EMF
tools let you generate an editor specific to a particular XML Schema. Here's a
tutorial for how to do that:

Bob,

Could you please send me the schema that exhibits this behavior? I can
add a null guard to prevent this problem, but I'd like to have a schema
that I can test against. Thanks.

I am a newbie in all Eclipse related stuff also.

I'm searching for a XML editor too, my only (and simple) needs are: DTD
validation and XSLT transforms. I found some plugins but none of them
convinced me.

Here is a list of the ones which I tried (perhaps can be usefull for some
other newbie):

* VeX [http://vex.sourceforge.net/index.html
- It seems very cool, but It's DTD/XHTML/CSS oriented, I haven't found
no XSD and no XSLT stuff.
* XMLBuddy [http://xmlbuddy.com/]
- Only the Pro version make XSL Transoforms. The 'lite'
version si free (Some XML Schema support on the free version)
* Blacksun Editors Plugin [http://black-sun.sourceforge.net/]
- Simple, but no Schema and no XSL Transforms support. Only an editor
* Improve XSLT plugin
[http://www.improve-technologies.com/alpha/xslt-launcher/]
- (Alpha), I downloaded it but not tested.
* X-men [http://xmen.sourceforge.net/]
- I don't tested it yet. I have no comments about it, sorry.

I only needs DTD validating and XSL Transforms (with the common editor
features: syntax-highlighting, indent, and so on).

If anybody knows some other I'll be grateful.

Thanks. And sorry because I don't speak/write english very well.

Viraf,

I think there is some consideration being given to making some of the WSAD XML
technology be part of Eclipse open source, but that could just be a vicious
rumor, so don't quote me.

There are currently no Eclipse projects I know of that would provide support
for an XML Editor.

The Sample XML Schema Editor is an example of a Eclipse Editor. Also, the EMF
tools let you generate an editor specific to a particular XML Schema. Here's a
tutorial for how to do that:

Bob,

Could you please send me the schema that exhibits this behavior? I can
add a null guard to prevent this problem, but I'd like to have a schema
that I can test against. Thanks.

Bob,

I've fixed the code to avoid the null point error. Thanks for sending a
sample.
