IDEs for developing XForms?

Hi all,

I was just wondering, does anyone have any recommendations for good
IDEs for authoring XHTML with XForms?

FWIW I've managed to tweak the XHTML-XForms NVDL schema that comes in
the samples with Oxygen [1], which means I can put a PI at the top of
each file (e.g., [2]) and get content-assist and some syntax checking,
but I had to tweak the NVDL, the XForms XSD and the XHTML RelaxNG
schemas quite a bit to get them to be happy about Orbeon extensions
(xxforms: and fr:), plus I really don't know what I'm doing with NVDL
so it's a bit half-baked.

Any insights much appreciated.

Cheers,

Alistair

Alistair,

I am using IntelliJ here, and we maintain schemas which you can find in:

http://github.com/orbeon/orbeon-forms/tree/master/src/java/org/orbeon/oxf/xml/schemas

E.g. our updated XForms schema is xforms-1_0-orbeon.xsd. The way you
map namespaces to schema files depend on your IDE, but as long as your
IDE has good support for XML, supports schemas for code completion and
validations, you are in good hands.
