Great. It wasn't until you asked that I realized that most other schemas were working just fine. The sample happened to be the first one I tried. ;-}

Bob,

I've fixed the code to avoid the null point error.  Thanks for sending a sample.

When I try to open the Sample XML Schema Editor I get a null pointer exception at XSDSimpleTypeDefinitionImpl.java:3935 after which the schema opens in the text editor. Does this editor work in the current release? Bob

I think there is some consideration being given to making some of the WSAD XML technology be part of Eclipse open source, but that could just be a vicious rumor, so don't quote me.

There are currently no Eclipse projects I know of that would provide support for an XML Editor.

The Sample XML Schema Editor is an example of a Eclipse Editor.  Also, the EMF tools let you generate an editor specific to a particular XML Schema.  Here's a tutorial for how to do that:

Hi,

I am new to developing in Eclipse and the news group.  I am in need of an
XML editor that validates against an XML Schema.  I was hoping that
something similar to that provided in WSAD would have been available in
Eclipse.  My undersanding from the prior posts on eclipse.technology.xsd is
that the XML Editor is not in the charter of this project.

+  Is there another project that I should approach regarding the editor.
This is a common request on eclipse.technology.xsd

+  Are there any samples that I can be refered to on how one would go about
building an XML Editor in Eclipse.

Thanks.
