How to get code completion in XML file [message #135751] Mon, 19 January 2004 16:59 Go to next message

Some XML files like Ant build.xml have built-in code complation support.
Is it possible to have code completion for any XML file using the
corresponding DTD file ?
Is so, how ?

Not that I am aware of in the Eclipse SDK.
The Ant build files used a customized Ant editor as part of the SDK Ant
plugins.
Of course you could look at the code and create your own plugin that did
what you need. Or these might already exist already...

Its not part of the base IDE, you need to get a plugin. XMen
(xmen.sf.net I think) is an open source plugin for XML support, its good
but buggy and progress is slow (if at all any more). XML Buddy is a good
one but commercial ($45) or you can buy an entire Web development plugin
for $30/year that has a good XML editor in it (Myeclipseide). I would
say out of all of them XMLBuddy is going to be your most featurefull
one, so it really depends on how powerful of XML editing you need. If
you just need autocomplete, I suppose XMen will do the trick for free.
