XML Schema Editor in NetBeans IDE 7.0.1

By Geertjan on Aug 24, 2011

Do you need a visual XML schema editor in NetBeans IDE 7.0.1? Here's how:

1. Go to Tools | Plugins in NetBeans IDE 7.0.1. In the Settings tab, register this update center:

   http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/job/xml/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/build/updates/updates.xml

2. Now go to the Available Plugins tab and search for XML Tools. Install that plugin.
   
   
3. And now you have a pretty cool XML schema editor. Go to the New File dialog and pick an XML schema file:
   
   

   You'll see a multiview editor with visual support for editing XML schema files:
   
   

Note, however, that the XML schema editor is part of the archived SOA Tools, so you can't file issues against this tool, since there is no longer support for it. Still, it seems to work fine, at least, on first trying it, so give it a try.
