Advanced XML Support
XML Pack provides file templates, live templates, schema validation
and completion for the following XML file formats:
- XSLT 1.0
- XForms 1.0 (12 Nov 2002 CR)
- OXF Pipeline Definition Language (XPL)
- OXF Web App Controller
For each one of those formats, it provides:
- File templates: You can create a new file from a generic template with the context menu in the project view
- Live templates are supported for XSLT and XPL. Please refer to the Options->Live Templates window for a list of available templates
- Schema validation: W3C XML Schemas are provided for XSLT, XForms, XPL and the OXF Web App Controller. You must include the namespace declaration in the root node for the validation to be active. IDEA's validation also includes context-sensitive completion in these files.
OXF Integration
The following features are supported:
- Creating a new OXF project - The project view provides a new context menu to create an OXF resource directory, containing the basic structure of an OXF Web application. This includes a web.xml descriptor, a property file, a Web App Controller and a simple page.
