This usually means you do not have the schema definition in your Eclipse setup.
This works fine for me using http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.6.1-201009090800/index.php
This looks like a packaging issue (see e.g. bug 333421). Which Eclipse did you download?
Choosing RCP package for now.
Hi Dani, I'm using eclipse-jee-helios-win32 and Version: Helios Service Release 1 Build id: 20100917-0705 download from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/helios/SR1/eclipse-jee-helios-SR1-win32.zip
Well, that is a 'known' problem... * something in the JEE package requires PDE (that is the reason why it is available in this package) * on the other hand there is no RCP source code in this package (the JEE package is already very large) Without the *.exsd files that are only available in the source bundles, the PDE tooling has no chance to know anything about the extension points. One workaround would be to install the sources or use the RCP/RAP package which includes the source bundles. BUT... a much better advise is to use a proper target definition that includes the sources! It is almost always better to invest the time in creating a proper target than compiling against the running IDE! I tend to close this bug, but will leave it open because it is not my own package.
I agree with Markus in comment #6 ... better to have "the right" target created and defined rather than rely on everything being in the IDE itself. I've seen this question recently come up elsewhere (?architecture list?) where people were wondering if exsd files should be included in "runtime" packaging (not just SDKs) ... so, that might be another solution, long term. But, I would not want JEE EPP Package to have to include all sources just to get the schema definition files, so will close as "won't fix". Thanks everyone for your investigations and explanations (and thanks for opening ... it is an important issue for us all to be aware of).
