RE: [eclipse.org-planning-council] Fragility of the XML project plan
|
Hi Eric,
have you loaded the plan XSD into the WTP
Catalog?
This was necessary for me to get full validation support in
Eclipse / WTP / XML Tooling. See also
Cheers,

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,

Fragility of the XML project plan |
Sent by: |

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?
Thanks
