RE: [e4-dev] Why XML UI is important for us

We had used this XSD schema file to generate an EMF model several months
ago. We stopped on the implementation of XMLResource for XWT. I think I can
find the project.

Sure, see you at ESE!

I tried to generate an Ecore file from it, using the EMF Generator Model 
wizard, but the xsd file wasn't accepted (didn't validate).

BTW, I liked this comment from Dave Carver:

"Oh and one recommendation, I would model it out with EMF/Ecore, and 
then generate the XSD from there.  Probably want to bring in Ed Merks on 
this as well.  You'll get a more realistic model starting from the 
abstract concepts, and then going platform specific (i.e. XSD/XML in 
this case).

You can do it the opposite way if necessary, but XSD is really designed 
for validating XML files, not for modeling abstract concepts.  It tends 
to be used that way but it isn't it's best use."

See you at ESE!
