Description gliesian 2010-04-21 02:04:19 UTC 
Right-clicking an XML file in NetBeans includes the menu option, "Generate DTD..."

In Altova XMLSpy, right-clicking an XML file includes a menu option, "Generate DTD/Schema..."

The attached images shows the dialog that is opened in XMLSpy.

The recommended enhancement is to provide similar functionality as has been done with XMLSpy.

Thanks.

FYI... Another Option:

IntelliJ IDEA Case Study:

Right-click XML file, Generate XSD Schemas from XML File.

This is new feature. Not defect.
Comment 5 gliesian 2010-06-04 16:05:17 UTC 
Use Cases: W3C XML Schemas can be generated from instance documents with the Relaxer tool.  This tool can be used by NetBeans to perform the conversion.

Reference: "Generating DTDs from XML Instance Documents" from "Java & XML, 3rd Edition (O'Reilly).  Note that the Relaxer link has changed.
Comment 6 gliesian 2010-06-04 16:09:51 UTC 
Oops... last section header should have said "Generating XML Schemas from Instance Documents" from page 30 of Java & XML, third edition.

relaxer -xsd [file].xml

DTDs can also be generated with relaxer:

"Generating DTDs from XML Instance Documents", page 25.

relaxer -dtd [file].xml

Note: I'm sure that relaxer isn't the only tool to perform these generations... I just don't know the other tools/APIs at this time.

Thanks.
