Re: Where is the Xsd editor in NB 6.8? how to validate xsd in 6.8?

[Jonathan Lister]

In netBeans 6.7 I could add an xsd file to a project by New | XML | XML
Schema.
In NB 6.8, XML Schema is not present in the list of options under the XML
category, how can I re-enable it?

Similarly, in 6.7 I could open an xsd in the editor, make some changes and
then right-click and choose Validate XML. In 6.8 I get the error below -
can't find xsd:schema

any suggestions please?

Hi Jonathan,

XML schema modules are placed on NB Update Center now.
So you should download them (you can do it via "Tools->Plugin" menu)

Thanks,
Sergey

Hi Sergey,
I had previously looked in plugins, but can't find any module that contains
XSD support. What is the modules full name?

I already have installed:
Base IDE
Java Web and EE
Java Se

Under settings I have activated all four upodate centres (netbeans, nb beta,
plugin portal & 3'rd party)

Jonathan,

looks like xml schema editor was deleted from NB update centers (both
stable and beta)

Thanks,
Sergey

oh,
do you think they will come back anytime soon
or is my only option to use NB 6.7 ?

I think more robust option is to use 6.7.1

I am using 6.7.1 and get the same error message. I do not have a clue what could be wrong because I've copy and pasted the header from a known working xsd. Any Ideas?

XML validation started.

Here is my xsd:

I had the same issue too. However, my xsd works fine without issues. Does this error prevents it from working?

netbeans 6.8 did not have xml schema editing
I found a workaround. The plugin was still here in 6.8M1 so you can get it from here.
1) Open "Plugins" dialog
2) Go to "Settings" tab
3) Add an update center:
- Name: NetBeans Dev
- URL: http://updates.netbeans.org/netbeans/updates/6.8/uc/m1/dev/catalog.xml.gz
4) Wait for catalog to be downloaded
5) Back to "Available plugins" tab
6) Intall plugin called "XML Schema and WSDL"

enjoy

Excellent workaround, many thanks for sharing this.

If the NetBeans team are listening, please, please can we have the xsd
editor / validator back into the main stream? I just can't do xml without
xsd ;-)

I've tried this workaround, but the Update Center workaround link is no longer available (404). Not sure why WSDL/XSD support was dropped, but it would be nice to get it back.
