RE: [eclipse.org-planning-council] Fragility of the XML project plan
|
Hi David,
I am using the XML editor. I am a bit embarrassed to
say I just checked and I am using Europa and not Ganymede. I haven't moved
all my project management stuff over to Ganymede along with coding.
<red_face/> Perhaps the newer version will help me catch
my mistakes. Note to self....
My real concern is how the server handles mildly invalid
input.

Since you never mention WTP or the WTP XML editor, I'm wondering if you are
using our WTP XML editor?
It will normally catch errors like this.
If
you are using it already, then I'd suggest, in order
a: make sure the XML
Editor is being used by default (best to use "open with ..." and pick it
explicitly.
b: check your preferences (under "Validation") and make sure
validation of xml files is not turned off. (There's both workspace and project
level settings).
c: open a bug with a sample of XML that shows the problem
and we'll take a look. There are some cases (such as in xsl files or html or
jsps or CDATA sections) where we can not always spot correct or incorrect
structure ... but, I think these planning documents were designed to be pure
XML?
Thanks,

[eclipse.org-planning-council] Fragility
of the XML project plan |

I made some changes to the my XML project plan this
morning based on our recent release. I ran the validator in Eclipse Ganymede and
it showed no problems.When I
uploaded the file and it became live a few minutes later, my project plan would
no longer render. http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project-plan.php?projectid=dsdp.tml This isn't the first time this has happened, and I remembered that
Firefox has a better validator than Eclipse. I loaded the XML into Firefox and
it showed that the problem was an unmatched paragraph end (</p>) element
in one of the sections (cut/paste error) text. Removing the extra element and
uploading solved the problem. I accept full responsibility for breaking my
project plan. It was my edit and upload that caused the problem. I will make
certain to use Firefox to validate my XML instead of Eclipse in the future.
However, several thoughts
come to mind...
1. Does the XML renderer on eclipse.org understand the
difference in severity between an unmatched paragraph element and completely
malformed XML? I'm not an XML guru, but I have more than a passing
familiarity. I would think the parser/renderer could be a little more lenient
on non-catastrophic errors. At least give an error message in the output
instead of just a blank frame.
2. If Firefox can
find the error, shouldn't we have the same ability in Eclipse?
