MyEclipse: [Troubleshoot] No autocomplete or validation with XML support-rkalla - Jan 13, 2006 - 01:54 AM Post subject: [Troubleshoot] No autocomplete or validation with XML
The MyEclipse XML editor will download any DTD or Schema referenced inside of an XML file and use it to validate the XML document as well as provide autocomplete for it. If you do not specify a DTD or Schema for an XML document then the editor will only provide validation of well-formedness.
If you have a DTD or Schema specified and you are not getting autocomplete or validation, this is most likely due to your computer being behind a Proxy and the editor is unable to download the file to perform the operations with it. If this is the case, there are two ways to get around it:
1. Be sure to enter your proxy settings in the Window > Preferences > MyEclipse > Internet Tools > Internet Proxy preference page
2. You can download the DTD or Schema locally, and then make an entry in the XML Catalog accessed from Window > Preferences > MyEclipse > Editors > XML > XML Catalog.
Either of the changes above should allow the editor to now access the file and provide autocomplete and validation for you.
