xml validation (external xsd) [message #168632]

Hi, I've been looking all over wtp to find a method of validating xml file
with a xml scheme and provide auto-completion mechanism in eclipse based
on that xsd file.

I read an article "Eclipse Validators" by Lawrence Mandel, and it seems
easy to implement a methanism of reporting errors but that doesnt provide
the auto-completion feature. Is there any way I could specify external xsd
file that wtp could use to validate my xml file an provide some
auto-completion based on that xsd file?

Yes, use the XML editor. Autocomplete should just work. Try
File->New->Examples->Editing and Validating XML Files.

Alright... I'll try to change the question.
What is the easiest way of validating file without xmlns declaration
against local xsd file? do I have to somehow modify my UriResolver, adding
to it path to my xsd file? If so how can I refer to a file without xmlns?

In this case if you don't want to specify a namespace or an
xsi:noSchemaNamespace I believe you'll need to provide a custom validator.
The XML validator and editor require the namespace declaration or a
pointer to a specific schema to know which schema to retrieve for a given
XML document.
