I have Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers, 204 MB (Mac OSX 32 bit), which I downloaded 2 days ago.

Version: Helios Service Release 1, Build id: 20100917-0705

I created a Dynamic Web Project, and copied a leads.xml file into the WebContent folder. The xml file references an external xsd file like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<leads xmlns="http://www.mydomain.com/test"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.mydomain.com/test http://www.mydomain.com/test/leads.xsd">
<lead>

I was then able to validate the leads.xml file in eclipse, and it correctly used the external leads.xsd and found a few errors.

The problem is that whenever I change the leads.xsd on the server, I cannot get eclipse to read in that new version, instead eclipse continues to validate the leads.xml file against an earlier version which apparently eclipse has cached.

I have added a -clean (on a separate line) at the end of my eclipse.ini file. I have tried refreshing eclipse, I have tried closing eclipse, and then restarting. Nothing has worked. Finally I removed eclipse from my system, reinstalled, and that worked.

How can I get eclipse to read in the new version of an external xsd file that has changed on the server? Or how can I get eclipse to clear its cache(s)?
