Using 3.7RC2 on top of 3.0M6. I cannot open any xml in the xml editor. I get an error that the editor cannot initialize. Is there a log that gives a more detailed trace?

<eclipse install>\workspace\.metadata\.log is the file

You will need to make sure that the DTD you are referenceing in your XML file is actually accessible from the web (copy-paste the DTD url into a browser and try and load it). The XML editor tries to pull down the DTD and if it can’t get it, dies.

Is there any way to make it not fail when the DTD is not available? I would still like to use the editor even if the validation is not possible.

Thanks.

dres,
You can try and turn off validation and see what happens:

Windows>Prefs>Myeclipse>Editors>XML Editors>Configuration
“Validate”, change to “none” and possibly turn of “Use cache for DTDs”

thanks, that worked.
