I published a first version and documentation for creating base lzx.xsd + project.xsd files, published here:
http://code.google.com/p/openlaszlo-schemagenerator/ Demo Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9a2A8zy57a0 The JAR contains tasks to generate a XSD from your project LZX files, by doing that: - You have full Schema Validation in Eclipse and it will show you all your XML schema errors - The validation is aware of ALL tags and attributes: The LZX base-components(+incubator) *and* your project specific code - You get content-sensitive drop down menus for Tags and Attributes - The XSD Schema also contains type-restriction, defaultvalues and documentation for Tags and Attributes parsed from your source files - there is a task to trim the schema from your files again as the OpenLaszlo compiler does not accept schema and prefixes (yet ;)) So your LZX file looks like that: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <canvas xmlns="http://localhost/openlaszlo/lzx"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:project="http://localhost/openlaszlo/project"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://localhost/openlaszlo/lzx ../lzx.xsd http://localhost/openlaszlo/project ../project.xsd" > <project:externalClass myPublicProperty="false"></project:externalClass> </library> ... actually what needs to be done now is to wrap my library in an Eclipse Project so that the steps that I currently do using ANT are automatically done by the IDE. There is also a hook in the JAR-library to transfer an existing "Non-XSD-aware" project into a XSD aware project. I will publish something about that soon. Based on the XSD you could also generate Java files with JAXB, for example you can create a whole Java representative of the LFC and your project ... or you could potentially create some data-services that automatically generate LZX from Java and vice verca...
