I am trying to use Extensible XML authoring in my project Spring configuration files and I like the eclipse XML Editor to validate the files correctly (+ adding code completion).

This is how the spring configuration file looks like:

{code}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xmlns:custom="http://www.myhost.com/2011/my-custom-scheme"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans 
       		           http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd
       			   http://www.myhost.com/2011/my-custom-scheme
                           http://www.myhost.com/2011/my-custom-scheme.xsd">

  <custom:my-element />

</beans>
{code}

The custom-scheme is implemented correctly, but the scheme file is not located at the specified URL 'http://www.myhost.com/2011/my-custom-scheme.xsd' but located in a JAR file which is added to my project classpath, as configured in META-INF/spring.schemas. 

The XML editor does not validate my configuration file, that is why I try to add a special entry to my XMLCatalog. I created my own XML Catalog file and use the 'Next Catalog' option in the Preferences > XML > XML Catalog > Add... dialog.

If the entry in my XML-Catalog file looks like this, validation and code-completion works correctly only if I remove the corresponding schemaLocation from my XML file:

{code}
<uri name="http://www.myhost.com/2011/my-custom-scheme"
      uri="jar:file:/C:/path/custom.jar!/path/to/my-custom-scheme.xsd"/>
{code}

Unfortunatly the spring application-context does not longer know how to resolve the custom-scheme, because the schemaLocation is required.

Trying the following entry in the XML Catalog file does not fix the problem:

{code}
<uri name="http://www.myhost.com/2011/my-custom-scheme.xsd"
      uri="jar:file:/C:/path/custom.jar!/path/to/my-custom-scheme.xsd"/>
{code}

Validation and code-completion doesn't work at all.






Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
See details, or:
Write an xml file and a schema. Put the Schema into your classpath, try to link the schemaLocation to the schema in classpath.
