Hi,

I would like to know whether I can load and compare 2 xml schemas. I just
downloaded Eclipse Ganymede and tried loading 2 different Projects based
on 2 different sets of XML schemas. I wonder how can I diff between 2
models. Any idea?

Thanks

Hi Nazir,

Comparing you XML schemas should be possible if you are able to load
them within Eclipse. The Eclipse wiki page for EMF Compare (
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/EMF_Compare ) should provide you with
all needed information. More specifically, take a look at
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Comparing_XML_files_with_EMF_Compare and
http://wiki.eclipse.org/EMF_Compare_FAQ .

Thanks for the prompt response, laurent.

I have another question. Sorry for being a newbie here as I couldn't find
any help from the links you gave. Should I use the same project to compare
those different set of XML schemas or I can use different projects for
each XML schemas. I have 2 set of XML schemas (with different version, of
course) and I want to compare them to see the changes made for the same
structure e.g. new <element/> added for the similar <complexType/>.

In addition, can I compare these 2 sets of XML schemas programmatically
(without Eclipse)?

Zillion thanks,again.

Muhamad,

You can safely use distinct projects for your XML schemas, so long as
they're both in the same workspace (so as to be compared from Eclipse).

You can use EMF Compare programmatically with or without Eclipse. An
example is accessible on CVS for this. You can find the link on
http://wiki.eclipse.org/EMF_Compare_FAQ#How_can_I_use_EMF_Co mpare_programmatically.3F

Hope this helps.
