| If you want to work with XML schema files that you created outside |
| of the product, you can import them into the workbench and open them |
| in the XML schema editor. The XML schema editor provides you with a |
| structured view of the XML schema.</div> |
| </div> |
| <div class="skipspace"><p>The following instructions were written for the |
| Resource perspective, but they will also work in many other |
| perspectives.</p> |
| <p>To import |
| an XML schema into the workbench, follow these steps:</p> |
| </div> |
| <ol><li class="skipspace"><span>Click <b> <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">File > Import</span></span></b>.</span></li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>Select the import source.</span> Click <b> <span class="uicontrol">Next</span></b>.</li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>Fill in the fields in the Import wizard as necessary.</span> When |
| you are finished, click <b> <span class="uicontrol">Finish</span></b>.</li> |
| </ol> |
| <div class="skipspace"><p>The imported schema now appears in the Navigator view. Double-click |
| it to open it in the XML schema editor.</p> |

It requires the included schema to be in the same target namespace as the including schema. The import element behaves in a similar way, with the exception that the imported schema can come from a different namespace.">Adding an import element</a><br /> |
