need validating schema based XML editor.

[Skunk Worx]

I am looking for a schema based, validating XML editor. It can run on java, but I prefer native. Either way it must be open source.

I have googled for awhile, but most everything is proprietary, shareware, broken, abandoned, or unsuitable for end users.

For example, I want to be able to pop up the XML editor against a XML configuration file, and have the users (non-programmers) navigate a treeview to get to a variety of settings, and let the validation schema insure they cannot enter invalid data, restrain the input to legal values, support drop-downs of legal values, as properly defined in the schema, etc.

There are so many partial projects showing up in google...am hoping I can cut through all of that and hear from someone who has already worked through this and has experience with a robust, high quality, validating XML editor for Fedora.

TIA,
SW

# yum install conglomerate

It appears to be a dead project, with a significant pause when it first opens an XML file.

Still. it is available in the repos, open source, and native. Only used it for a few hours, but haven't seen any crashing yet...

In your original post you hadn't mentioned what you'd already tried so I was hesitant to post. Have you seen this:

Thanks. It's not in extras but runs fast, gives decent warnings, and loads much faster than conglomerate.

Glad it works for you. I should have mentioned there was a FC5 RPM on their download page! Brain-fart time there
