an XML schema is useful to drive a certain XML content structure with XML Element names that have a hierarchy and a certain set of properties.
this is usually not the case for filevault XML content where the element names are mostly completely arbitrary (derived from the content structure in the repository), and there are only a few system properties using namespaces like sling and jcr. it's not possible to derive from the XML element name which properties can apply to it, and thus in my POV an XML schema cannot help much here. stefan >-----Original Message----- >From: John Kramer [mailto:john.kra...@panerabread.com] >Sent: Friday, February 14, 2020 4:18 PM >To: users@sling.apache.org >Subject: Re: Sling XML Namespace > >Sure, we use IntelliJ as a source code editor.
