There is an error in the WSDL 1.1 schema that doesn't allow extensiblity 
elements to apprear as children of the definitions element. This has been 
corrected in the head stream of the WSDL validator. We should be producing 
a new release in the next couple days. If you'd like to test it now you 
can extract wsdl.xsd from the WSDL validator plugin and put it in your 
validator xsd directory.

I think the correct place for this extension to live is in the newly 
formed Web Tools Platform Project. If you're interested in contributing 
your plnk extension validator please post an overview of your plugin and 
why it is useful to the WTP newsgroup and mailing list. Here's a page 
where you can find out information about developing for WTP including 
links to the newsgroup and mailing lists 
http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/development/main.html. I'm willing to 
advise if you have any questions about this process.


Thanks,

Lawrence
