Description Thomas M??der CLA 2005-01-04 12:04:47 EST
1.0 M2

Problem: I have an xml file with a Doctype specification that doesn't resolve to
a valid URL (for whatever reason, I might be offline). 

Here's the behaviour I propose:

1) I get a "quickfix" mark. 
2) When I click the quickfix, I get a dialog to add to the XML Catalog WITH THE
PROPER VALUES ALREADY FILLED IN (ouch, that was loud!).

The problem with the current solution is:

1) It's hard to see that the DTD doesn't resolve (at least reliably)
2) In the XML Catalog dialog, I have to enter all the information myself, and
besides being lazy, I'm also terrilby bad at etnering ifnormation.

Changed Version field given new release numbering.
Comment 2 David Williams CLA 2005-06-23 11:57:10 EDT
removed [feature] from summary, and changed to "enhancement", as it is. 
And ... a good one at that. Doubt it will be in our July release (as we 
are shutting down), but I do want this and similar improvements made. 
Thanks.

Besides allowing DTD's to be in projects or the file system, I'd suggest also JAR's (as libraries often ship with DTD's inside the package).
Does this use case support also schemas?

mass reassignment of my bugs to xml-inbox

While the very cool quickfix idea hasn't been implemented, by default we will now alert you that we can't find the DTD you're trying to use.
