Validating process specification XML

Hi,

I have to validate process specification XML prior to deploying these files into a project area. To do so, I use the top-level schema file ProcessSpecification.xsd and collect additional schema files from various extension points (namely configuration points, operation advisors and operation participants).

When I now invoke the the Java XML parser on a process specification XML file, the parser complains about problems in some schema files which are distributed with RTC (2.0.0.2 iFix 6). As a result, parts of the process specification which are supposed to be validated these problematic schema files, are actually skipped.

(You can also observe symptoms of these invalid schemas in the Eclipse Client: Configure the required approvals precondition, switch to the process specification source and you'll notice that you do have neither code completion nor syntax validation in the editor.)

Kind regards,
Markus

Here is the list of schema files which cannot be parsed:
- Error: URI=platform:/plugin/com.ibm.team.dashboard.service/schema/entries.xsd Line=24: s4s-elt-schema-ns: The namespace of element 'element' must be from the schema namespace, 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema'.
