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

#!bash
./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

1. Open Eclipse Preferences
2. In XML > XML Catalog > XML Catalog Entriss, click Add...
3. In the new dialog, click Workspace
4. Browse ns-xml/xsd ... and select one of the XSD schema (ex: program/2.0/program.xsd), validate
5. 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.
