Is there a way to associate this file extension with the XML catalogue entry or .xsd file directly without needing the file to specify the schema (avoid having to add the xmlns=".." part)?
There’s not a code-free way of doing it, and as a consequence you’ll
be calling internals to do this.
If you look at
http://git.eclipse.org/c/sourceediting/webtools.sourceediting.git/tree/bund$
, it’s associating a CMDocumentFactory to a filename extension. The
supplied factory is given a URI to the file being edited in the
method to override, but the implementor could just delegate that
responsibility to an instance of
org.eclipse.wst.xsd.contentmodel.internal.CMDocumentFactoryXSD or
org.eclipse.wst.dtd.core.internal.contentmodel.CMDocumentFactoryDTD
with a grammar URI of its choosing, the results of which it should
cache for subsequent requests. The biggest problems with that are 1)
you'll need a hard dependency on one of those content model plug-ins
and 2) neither of those factories expect to need to further resolve
the URI they’re given, as they’re usually called *after* any caching of
remote resources or lookups in the catalogue have happened.
A patch that wraps this into a new implementation class that does
take advantage of caching, supports the catalogue, and that makes
use of initialization data for the grammar URI would be well received,
I think.
