The Eclipse IDE

Eclipse is an open source development platform that can be configured to support a number of different activities, including XML and schema development. There is one flavor of eclipse that includes an XML- and schema-aware editor. If you've never used an XML-aware editor before, this is a cheap way to try one out - but don't expect a lot of bells and whistles.



There are other open source and freeware XML editors out there. If you find one you like, please feel free to add it and associated information to this section of the wiki.
