Eclipse XSD editor


How do you launch or install the Eclipse XSD editor?

According to this it seems it should work out-of-the-box. I created the XMLExamples project and when I open Catalogue.xsd Eclipse treats it as a text file. If I choose Open With > Other... there's no XSD editor on the list.

I'm using Eclipse Indigo (3.7) on Mac OS X Lion.


Solution

  • Apparently the XSD editor wasn't included in my package (Eclipse IDE for Java Developers). I added it using:

    Help > Install New Software...

    Work with (enter your Eclipse version, here Photon):

    Photon - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/photon

    Filter by "XML" - as "XSD" wouldn't return the XSD editor (eventually untick "Hide items that are already installed" in case it's already installed):

    Web, XML, Java EE and OSGi Enterprise Development

    And then:

    Eclipse XML Editors and Tools

    Example with Photon:
