Why does completion work with a DTD, but not with a schema? [message #222550]

Eclipse 3.3.2.

If I edit an XML file that's defined with a DTD, I can do completion on
element names. However, if it's instead defined with a schema, I don't
get any completion choices.

For instance, if I start with the following "faces-config.xml" file,
completion works fine:

--------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE faces-config PUBLIC
"-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JavaServer Faces Config 1.1//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-facesconfig_1_1.dtd">
<faces-config>
</faces-config>
--------

However, if I instead use this:

--------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<faces-config xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-facesconfig_1_2.xsd"
version="1.2">
</faces-config>
--------

then attempts to do completion give me empty lists.

Am I missing something simple?

Hi David,

Try going to the XML menu item and choose Reload Dependencies under that.

Nope. No dice. Nothing new happened. After executing "Reload
Dependencies", I entered "<man" in the body of my "faces-config" element
and pressed ctl-space, and it brought up a menu that listed "man", instead
of the several "managed-..." elements.

If this is SUPPOSED to work, then I guess I'll file a bug, after I try
this same scenario in a newer release.
