I’ve read that if I have the dtd that I should be able to see autocompletion. But, alas, I do not see it. I have the dtd in the same file as my xml so my code looks like:
<!DOCTYPE form SYSTEM “form.dtd”>
<form
.
.
.
thanksJeff,
The problem is that the location of the DTD must be specified absolute to the file system, not relative to the XML file, in the current release. There’s an open enhancement request to support XML-relative SYSTEM DTD’s in a future release.
As a workaround, you could also manually “cache” your DTD by saving it as:
<workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.xmen/dtds/file___form.dtd
that’s three underscores here —————————^Hello Scott,
There is XML catalog – this is map with DTD declaration and local file place
You can add DTD for web.xml, struts,faces,hibernate etc, but user can add any dtd and save it anywhere in file system.This is specification :

Scott,
so, if I use <!DOCTYPE form SYSTEM “form.dtd”> then it will work if form.dtd is on c: at the top level? Isn’t workingnot working yet. xmlbuddy can see it, but not myeclipse. Will it see it automatically? or do I need a recompile for the myeclipse editor to see it?
this is my version:
MyEclipse Application Server ToolingVersion: 2.7.1
Build id: 200403241200-2.7.1-GAI tried this, too. (As a workaround, you could also manually “cache” your DTD by saving it as:
<workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.xmen/dtds/file___form.dtd )
this didn’t work either.Jeff,
OK, I’ve got it figured out. You need to do two things to get this to work in the current release.
1) change the dtd reference from “form.dtd” to “file://form.dtd”
2) add the file___form.dtd file to <workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/com.genuitec.eclipse.xmen/dtds/
3) Restart Eclipse.That should do it.
Still not working. Okay, this is what I’ve got:
XML file:
<?xml version=”1.0″?>
<!DOCTYPE form SYSTEM “file://form.dtd”>
<form
…DTD Path:
C:\Dev\eclipse\plugins\com.genuitec.eclipse.xmen\dtds\file___form.dtdrestart eclipse.
Still no autocomplete.
Harumph!
Jeff,
Note that scott mentioned to put the DTD in your <workspace>\.metadata\.plugins\etc.etc.etc. directory, you put it into your install dir…Also,
How did you install MyEclipse? I’m looking at your path:C:\Dev\eclipse\plugins\com.genuitec.eclipse.xmen
and it doesn’t quite make sense. Did you uncompress MyEclipse directly ontop of your Eclipse install so all MyEclipse plugins/features went into <eclipse install dir>\features & \plugins? I’m asking because I don’t know why else that plugin directory would be under your Eclipse plugins…
OK, I found the problem with the path. (Myeclipse is installed under Dev just as eclipse is. I created the xmen dir in my previous effort). This is the new path location:
C:\Dev\eclipse\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\com.genuitec.eclipse.xmen\dtd\file___form.dtd
I also noticed the dir “com.genuitec.eclipse.xmen\dtd” in Myeclipse\.plugins so I added it there, too.
restart. STILL NO autocomplete.
To quote Winnie the Pooh, “oh bother.”
Jeff,
Can you do a fresh install of Eclipse/MyEclipse in completely separate dirs, and let it create a new workspace and try there? If not that, please shutdown eclipse and remove the com.genuitec.eclipse.xmen plugin out of your eclipse plugins dir, it isn’t suppose to be there.I’m a little worried about other modifications that you made in the trek to get this working, and I don’t want you to be stuck from getting work done just because of some quirky setup thing.
