[xml-dev] [ANN] new schema related tools from Sun

[Kohsuke KAWAGUCHI <kohsuke.kawaguchi@sun.com>]

Sun released three new schema related tools. All of them can be freely
downloaded and used from http://www.sun.com/xml

- XML Instance Generator

  This tool reads a schema file and produces valid documents. You can
  also produce invalid documents, too. DTD, RELAX NG, RELAX
  Core/Namespace, TREX and W3C XML Schema are supported.

- RELAX NG Converter

  This tool reads a schema file and converts it into an equivalent RELAX
  NG schema. Again, DTD, RELAX NG, RELAX Core/Namespace, TREX and W3C
  XML Schema are supported.

- MSV RELAX NG + Schematron add-on

  This is an experimental implementation of validator that supports
  Schematron assertions embedded in RELAX NG. (I'm sorry, the
  terminology may be wrong.) This tool allows developers to combine the
  benefit of the grammar-based solution (RELAX NG) and that of the
  assertion-based approach (Schematron).


Any feedback is very welcome.
