Try this, i.e., register it in NetBeans IDE as an Update Center: http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/job/xml/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/build/updates/updates.xml
Then you'll be able to install a range of visual XML/XSD/DTD/etc tools. Would be great if the above would be developed further, and it will be one of the pieces donated to Apache, from where you and others interested in this could develop it further.
