In my WTP M2 installation, there are no plug-in defined entries in the XML
Catalog. Should there be? I'm looking for an example that uses this feature.
I'd like my plug-in (an editor for a particular XML format) to deploy with a
schema located within the plug-in directory, and a catalog entry for use by
files opened by the editor.

Thanks.

In M2, we don't include any plugin defined catalog entries. We hope to
add these in M3. Here's an example of how plugin developers can do this
via the plugin.xml file.

<extension point="org.eclipse.wst.xml.uriresolver.catalogContributor">
<catalogContributor catalogId="default">
<mappingInfo key="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"
uri="xsd/wsdl.xsd"/>
<mappingInfo key="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"
uri="xsd/soap.xsd"/>
</catalogContributor>
</extension>

Note that the 'uri' attribute values specify plugin relative paths. In
this case we'd assume a directory structure like this
<install-location>/eclipse/plugins/my-plugin/xsd

Give that a try and let me know how it works out. BTW... just a
disclaimer... I should mention that this extension point may change in the
future. Until our API's are finalized some migration may be required when
you pick up new WTP release.

Hope that helps

Thanks. I tried this extension point today, and it worked out fine. There
was a commented-out instance of the extension point in the xds.ui plug-in.
