Description _ pkuzel 2001-08-06 09:43:09 UTC 
Some users prefer XML Document skeletons over code completion as they then fill
"form". The action takes a grammar description and generates sample document
structure from it. It also can be executed from a document context behaving
similarly to code completion but filling a "context skeleton".

Why not make this into full blown generic XML document editor?
I believe all structural information can be taken from XML Schema of document.

It should have two modes - form/table like and free text like, embedding preferred mode and other things in directly in Schema (there is an infrastructure in Schema for that).

Raw XML text editing should be used as a last resort way...
Have a lok at XMLSpy 4.0.

XML tree editor is not part of NetBeans since 3.5 version. No plans to bring it
back.
