Component Dependencies View for XML Schema

The Component Dependencies view allows you to spot the dependencies for the selected component of an XML Schema, a Relax NG schema, a NVDL schema or an XSLT stylesheet. If the view is not displayed, it can be opened from the Window ⇒ Show View menu.

If you want to see the dependencies of a schema component:

• Select the desired schema component in the editor.
• Choose the Component Dependencies action from the contextual menu.

The action is available for all named components (for example, elements or attributes).

In the Component Dependencies view the following actions are available in the toolbar:

Refresh

Refreshes the dependencies structure.

Stop

Stop the dependencies computing.

Configure

Allows you to configure a search scope to compute the dependencies structure.

History

Contains a list of previously executed dependencies computations.

The contextual menu contains the following actions:

Go to First Reference

Selects the first reference of the referenced component from the current selected component in the dependencies tree.

Go to Component

Shows the definition of the currently selected component in the dependencies tree.

Tip

If a component contains multiple references to another components, a small table is displayed that contains all these references. When a recursive reference is encountered, it is marked with a special icon .
