The other obvious, although heavyweight answer, is to look into the Eclipse EMF and XSD tools, which give a ton of information about schemas, and support auto-generating code to create editors for a schema (although not, perhaps, as simply editable code as your application needs). It's worth s

Unfortunately, we don't have a current official XML-Commons release for the xml-apis portion of the project - partly due to trying to figure out if and how this release would need to be certified with the appropriate TCK, since while xml-apis.jar provides the interfaces for JAXP, it does not pr

G. Trying to handle too many different standards at once is a headache, I agree. In principle I'd say we'll be shipping the version that matches the current JAXP 1.2 TCK, since we need to pass the TCK to have an official release. Unfortunately this sometimes means shipping potentially co
