Xsd Editor Free

Mar 16, 2017  Download XSDEditor for free. The XSD editor is a cross-platform XML editor. Although it can be used to edit any type of XML file, the editor is specifically designed to allow easy creation, editing, and validation of XML Schema (XSD) files.

How do you launch or install the Eclipse XSD editor?

  • Xmlfox is a good free editor that supports XSD. I however like Oxygen XML Editor. It is very cheap for the functionality it provides. EditiX supports visual editing, however it is only free for 30 days. See the below picture.
  • Drag/drop support for easy manipulation of the tree, even across different instances of XML Notepad and from the file system. Infinite undo/redo for all edit operations. In place popup multi-line editing of large text node values. Configurable fonts and colors via the options dialog. Full find/replace dialog with support for regex and XPath.
  • XSD/XML Schema Generator. Generates a XSD (XML Schema) from a XML file. Simply copy-paste OR upload your XML document and let the generator figure out the rest. The generator will try to use a 'smart' approach to figure out the data type (you can always refine it after).
  • XML Schema Editor Tools. The problems users face when working with the XSD standard can be mitigated with the use of graphical editing tools. Although any text-based editor can be used to edit an XML Schema, a graphical editor offers advantages; allowing the structure of the document to be viewed graphically and edited with validation support, entry helpers and other useful features.

According to this it seems it should work out-of-the-box. I created the XMLExamples project and when I open Catalogue.xsd Eclipse treats it as a text file. If I choose Open With > Other... there's no XSD editor on the list.

I'm using Eclipse Indigo (3.7) on Mac OS X Lion.

Apparently the XSD editor wasn't included in my package (Eclipse IDE for Java Developers). I added it using:

Help > Install New Software...

Work with (enter your Eclipse version, here Photon):

Photon - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/photon

Filter by 'XML' - as 'XSD' wouldn't return the XSD editor (eventually untick 'Hide items that are already installed' in case it's already installed):

Web, XML, Java EE and OSGi Enterprise Development

And then:

Eclipse XML Editors and Tools

Example with Photon:

Which Eclipse package did you install? The XSD editor isn't included with all of them. If you click on 'details' for any package, you can see the included features. The one you're looking for is org.eclipse.wst.xml_ui.feature.

You can go alternatively to eclipse market place(Help>Eclipse Market place) and search for XSD Editor, you will see the one provided by The eclipse foundation which will be like the following. I already have it installed, so it is asking me to update/uninstall. If you have it as well, then it will show you the same screenshot.
