[oXygen-user] Validating a Maven pom.xml file in Oxygen?

[DaMommio, Aaron D (Aaron)]

Thank you.
It seems I was unable to figure this out before because of 2 problems:
- Could not download the schema from apache (proxy? Not sure)
- When I got a local copy, I got the wrong thing initially (I'd made a local copy a couple months ago and it threw errors; today, when I got one from http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd, it worked)
	... both of these together left me pretty confused, but your reply made me try the local copy again.

I created a simple framework that detected the type based on the namespace, and embedded it in my existing custom framework. So, now my users will be able to validate poms so long as they have 
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0">
And have an updated copy of our custom framework.

Much obliged,
Aaron

Hi Aaron,

The Maven XML Schema has a target namespace so the reference to it from the XML document should be like:

> <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
>     xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 
> http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

Basically the value of the "xsi:schemaLocation" attribute is usually list of (targetNamespace schemaLocation) pairs.

If you do not want to link directly to the schema from the XML you should consider downloading the schema to a local folder and creating a basic document type association in the Oxygen Preferences->"Document Type Association" page:
