As mentioned here before, there are several commercial and some free XML editors that are very good. I've only really used OxygenXML much. If you are really serious about XML, I highly recommend it. If you are a FlightGear developer and are using it for only an open source project, I think you could negotiate the academic pricing level - especially if you give them some kind of notice, somehow. As an example of what a good XML editor can do for you: I have a schema set up for the JSBSim aircraft configuration files. When editing a JSBSim aircraft file in OxygenXML (for instance, c172r.xml), you can type in an element name, the editor will add the closing element tag, and if you right-click you can get a list of valid elements or attributes that can go inside the type element. If I was to add a pure_gain element, if I was to right-click in the tag I would see that "name" is a valid attribute that can be added to the pure_gain element tag. I would see that output is an optional element that can appear inside the pure_gain element. With the coming of JSBSim Commander, that approach to editing XML files may be going by the wayside, but for XML files that have (or will have) no GUI editor, it's a great way to go. An editor will give you syntax checking, se well. Jon ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
