Oxygen XML Developer plugin Plugin Wizard for New Document

The New Document wizard only creates a skeleton document. It contains the document prolog, a root element, and possibly other child elements depending on the options specific for each schema type. To generate full and valid XML instance documents based on an XML Schema, use the XML instance generation tool.

The Oxygen XML Developer plugin plugin installs a series of Eclipse wizards for easy creation of documents. If you use these wizards, Oxygen XML Developer plugin automatically completes the following details:

the system ID, or schema location of a new XML document;
the minimal markup of a DocBook article, or the namespace declarations of a Relax NG schema.

To create a document, either select File > New > -> Other (Ctrl+N) > oXygen, or click the New button on the toolbar.
The New wizard is displayed.
Select a document type.

Click the Next button.

For example if XML was selected the Create an XML Document wizard is started.

The Create an XML Document dialog box enables definition of an XML Document Prolog using the system identifier of an XML Schema, DTD, Relax NG (full or compact syntax) schema, or NVDL (Namespace-based Validation Dispatching Language) schema. As not all XML documents are required to have a Prolog, you can choose to skip this step by clicking OK. If the prolog is required, complete the fields as described in the next step.
Type a name for the new document and press the Next button.
If you select Customize, Oxygen XML Developer plugin opens the following dialog box. You can customize different options depending on the document type you select.

New XML Document Dialog Box
