Eclipse Visual Editing XSD

More popular tools such as XMLSpy provide a more user-friendly visualization tool. How to easily edit the XSD in the linux/free widows. Of course we can choose emacs (actually this is my favorite editor). But to be honest, the new standard is too many, and lazy, so many times still rely on eclipse to do coding. Eclipse can also configure the shortcut keys that support Emacs so that both are available.

With Ubuntu, it's easy to get eclipse via Apt-get, but because of the version problem, it's not possible to update WTP (Web Tools Platform) over the network. WTP has a powerful XML plugin, including an XSD visual editing system.

Getting the latest eclipse is simple, and actually downloading a minimal system is fine. The downloaded eclipse is a green software that can be unpacked into a ~/eclipse/such as a run. Add in Help/software updates/available software/add site:

http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates/

Just update the latest WTP plugin. The dependence problem is resolved automatically by Eclipse. After installation elcipse the XSD document is opened and you can see that you are already able to visualize editing.

There is a problem with the installation process, especially in the plugin update. For example, using the Ubuntu default JRE will appear out of memory, link timeout, and other bizarre errors. It's hard to find the reason at first. Linux under some software, or not open source comparison of "authentic", such as Flash and Java, are native compatibility good. We can install the Java-6-sun by Apt-get and select this JRE as the default JRE for the system:

sudo update-alternatives--config java

Restart Eclipse and install the upgrade WTP, I wish you well.
