XML Schema Resource Hierarchy / Dependencies View

The Resource Hierarchy / Dependencies view allows you to easily see the hierarchy / dependencies for an XML Schema, a Relax NG schema or an XSLT stylesheet. If the view is not displayed, it can be opened from the Window ⇒ Show View menu.

The Resource Hierarchy / Dependencies is useful when you want to start from an XML Schema (XSD) file and build and review the hierarchy of all the other XSD files that are imported, included or redefined in the given XSD file. The view is also able to build the tree structure, that is the structure of all other XSD files that import, include or redefine the given XSD file. The scope of the search is configurable (the current project, a set of local folders, etc.)

The build process for the hierarchy view is started with the Resource Hierarchy action available on the contextual menu of the editor panel.

The build process for the dependencies view is started with the Resource Dependencies action available on the contextual menu.
