XML Catalog and validation [message #557240]

Hello
I've got problem with validation of file, that doesn't have any namespace or schema definition.
Is it possible to attach validator to xml file based on name of this file?

I've got: config.xml and syntax like below:

<config>
<title>...</title>
<description>...</description>
....
</config>

I can't add any xml schema definition or namespace definition.

I've created xsd file to validate this, but I don't know how to add extention to source editor so that it would be validated and I've got contentassist.

I tried to use xml catalog but it works only when schema definition is defined.

I'm sure that it's possible, becasue in Eclipse RCP there is plugin.xml file which is validated that way.

Can you please tell me how to add such validation to source editor in my plugin?

Thank you in advance

Without a namespace or schema location there would be no way to tell which schema this particular XML file should be validated against. A new validator would have to be added utilizing a content descriptor that identifies this specific document. Note however that this would only incorporate validation and not content assist.

Why not? You would otherwise have to write your own validator from
scratch and register it with the Validation Framework.

As an alternative, a URI resolver that returns the corresponding schema could be contributed. It would have to use content type information to ensure the schema is only returned for this specific XML document.
