Configuring Eclipse

Prerequisites

Eclipse (of course...) with the following plugins

Eclipse XML editors and tools (XML / XSLT edition)
XSD - XML schema definition (XSD edition)
PyDev (for the Python parser)
C/C++ Development tools (for the C parser)
PDT PHP development tools (for the PHP parser)

Creating project tree

The eclipse project bundled with ns-xml is located in script/eclipse. To create symbolic links to sources inside this folder, run

																																																																																																																																								./tools/sh/eclipse/configure.sh
																																																																																																																																							

Using Mercurial

Add

																																																																																																																																								[ui]ignore.eclipse = resources/hg/ignores/eclipse

in your .hg/hgrc file to ignore these symbolic links

Adding ns-xml XML schema to Eclipse XML catalog

Open Eclipse Preferences
In XML > XML Catalog > XML Catalog Entriss, click Add...
In the new dialog, click Workspace
Browse ns-xml/xsd ... and select one of the XSD schema (ex: program/2.0/program.xsd), validate
Repeat the operation for each schema

Eclipse can now use the XSD to auto-complete and auto-validate XML files that use a ns-xml schemas.
