If you have an XML file which includes other local files as entities, and modify the structure of one of the included files, the node tree of the containing document does not change - even "Reload document" does not achieve this. Ideally it should happen automatically, but if that is not possible, at least "Reload document" should force a reparse that will notice that the included entities have changed.
I hope "Reload document" action works. It takes some time to reparse document and update changes to old tree -- do not you try it on big documents? Is not tree really updated after some time ("25" minutes)? Listening on local entities could be nice features -- changing to ENHANCEMENT.
Yes, I was not kidding, it really took 25 minutes on restart. I was too scared to try reload document!
Let these are considered while planning next release.
Target milestone was changed from not determined to TBD
It's getting more complicated because 'external entity' can be defined by: - Xinclude - Xlink - XSLT import and include - XMLSchema import, ... It must be guarded by associated semantics editor.
XML tree editor is not part of NetBeans since 3.5 version. No plans to bring it back.
