Eclipse distro for xml editing [message #328959]

Hi All,

I would like to set up an Eclipse distribution facilitating xml
authoring/editing - syntax coloring, editor assistance etc. - based on a
W3C XML Schema file.

I would like to get this distro as small as possible, meaning without any
unnecessary packages/dependencies (I think I need the Eclipse platform
runtime plus the very required packages).

How can I do this?
And may I open and edit an XML instance file into Eclipse IDE on its own
without any including project?

Thanks for your help!
Regards,
Csaba

I just did the following:
1) Download eclipse-platform-3.4Rc4-win32.zip from
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/S-3.4RC4 -200806091311/index.php.
Unzip & run
2) Help -> Software Updates -> Available Software
3) Expand Ganymede Update Site ->Web and Java EE Development
check Eclipse XML Editors and Tools
4) Click install, restart when it is finished.

This automatically downloads everything those XML editors and tools
require. It seems to have downloaded around 16MB of stuff, I don't know
what is required and what is extra. I'm sure it is possible to get it
smaller.

I was able to drag & drop an xml file into the editer area to edit an
external xml file without a project.

This is using p2 to provision from the ganymede site. You may want to
wait a few weeks to get the final bits for everything instead of using
release candidates.
