How to associate custom XML schema with XML editor? [message #230533] Tue, 21 April 2009 18:14 Go to next message

I am trying to add content assist and validation to the "stock" XML editor
in a standalone product that repackages the Eclipse 3.3.2 platform and
adds our own plugins. I have:

A) extended org.eclipse.core.contenttype.contentTypes with my own
content-type specifying a base type of org.eclipse.core.runtime.xml and a
org.eclipse.core.runtime.content.XMLRootElementContentDescri ber:myRootElement
describer.

B) extended org.eclipse.wst.xml.core.catalogContributions with my own
catalogContribution pointing to my .xsd file.

However, I don't see 1) how to associate the editor with my .xsd for
content assist (I thought this was done automatically by B); or 2) how to
enable "Validate" on the context menu in the Navigator.

I saw in Nitin's EclipseCon presentation that "It’s common to define your
own contentType, say for a specialized form of XML, based on some specific
DTD, and then associate it with your editor," but I can't find any
documentation explaining exactly how to do this.

Any help or direction would be appreciated.

Well, there are a couple of ways to do this. If you have a Namespace
for your XML, you can contribute your Schemas to the XML Catalog through
the xmlCatalog extension point. Take a look at the
org.eclipse.wst.xml.core plugin for some examples on how to use the
extension point.

You can also use a custom URI Resolver to let the editor know which
grammar to load. Again there example code in the
org.eclipse.wst.xsl.core plugin that shows how we use the custom
resolver to determine which XSLT 2.0 grammar to use based on the version
attribute of the XSLT being edited.

David,

I've registered the .xsd in the XML Catalog, but all I get on Ctrl-Space
after a "<" in a new document created with the "New/XML" wizard based on
my registered XML schema is the status line error message:

"Content Assist not available at the current location"

What am I doing wrong?

Regards,
Dan

It would help to see some sample XML, as well as how you setup the XML
Catalog entry for the XSD.

Also does your XSD have a targetNamespace?

Sorry for the omission. I was really just trying to understand the
conceptual answer, but here's my specifics if it will help. Note that the
URL listed in the namespace will not currently resolve on the web, but my
understanding is that Eclipse uses the local copy first, so that shouldn't
be a problem, right?

What does work:
1) When I right-click an XML file, I get a new "My XML Editor" entry.
2) When I open an XML file that has a "myRoot" root element (*):
A) The default editor that opens has my "my-xml.gif" icon.
B) A custom view I developed recognizes that my custom content was
loaded.
3) My schema shows up in "Preferences...|Web and XML|XML Catalog" under
the "Plugin Specified Entries".

(*) For example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<myRoot>
</myRoot>

What does NOT work:
1) When I use the "New|Other...|XML|XML" Wizard and select "Create XML
file from an XML schema file" and select my schema from the Catalog, the
"Root element:" selection list is empty.
2) Content assist on a file opened as "My XML Editor" gives me the error:
"Content Assist not available at the current location"

Dan

Content Assistance for your Editor probably needs to have a
StructuredSourceViewerConfiguration enabled for it. Here is an example
from the XSLT editor:

<extension point="org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui.editorConfiguration">
<sourceViewerConfiguration

class=" org.eclipse.wst.xsl.ui.internal.StructuredTextViewerConfigur ationXSL "
target="org.eclipse.wst.xml.core.xslsource">
</sourceViewerConfiguration>
</extension>

You'll want to setup the target for your particular content id. You
can use the same StructuredTextViewrConfigurationXML if all you want is
the base support as is provided by the XML editor. So in your case the
target id is: com.mycomany.myproduct.myXML

The question I have in regards to your Schema is, what happens if you
load up using the default XML editor. Do you get the content assistance
that you expect. Your Schema looks fine, and the way you are
contributing to it looks alright.

David,

I tried configuring the sourceViewerConfiguration, but it didn't appear to
have any effect, even with a namespace attribute on the root element in my
XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<myRoot xmlns="http://www.mycompany.com/myproduct/2009/XMLSchema">
...
</myRoot>

This is what I added this to the plugin.xml:

<extension point="org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui.editorConfiguration">
<sourceViewerConfiguration

class="org.eclipse.wst.xml.ui.StructuredTextViewerConfigurationXML "
target="com.mycompany.myproduct.myXML">
</sourceViewerConfiguration>
</extension>

Also, I still don't understand why "Create XML file from an XML schema
file" fails to find the root element.

Regards,
Dan

Does it work with the WTP XML editor.

1. Does it load your grammar.
2. Is content assistance available for your element.

This will help to determine what is happening.

Dan, make sure your Schema is valid. I added it manually to the XML
Catalog through a user contribution, and it works, if the schema is
valid. The one you provided in your example isn't valid as is. I had
to clean up the errors. . Once the errors were corrected, the myRoot
element shows as an option during the XML generation. I selected the
item from the xmlCatalog.

Although this is many years later, I wanted to point out that WTP XML offers a hook to provide schema locations for a file via the org.eclipse.wst.xml.core.externalSchemaLocations extension point. The provider can provide either an xsi:schemaLocation or xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation.
