maven-project.xsd

[Michael Lipp <mi...@danet.de>]

Hi,

first of all, I apologize, but I didn't find a bug tracking system for 
maven. I clicked some time through the web site, did a google search, 
but no luck. So if this is out of place, don't shout at me, just 
redirect me.

I decided to give maven a try and found a problem in the very first 
step. It is very good that you provide a maven-project.xsd. However, it 
does not have a "targetnamespace" which makes it almost unusable, 
because the XML authoring tools I know of associate XML files with 
schemas by looking at the namespace declarations, so I must write 
something like '<project xmlns="http://www.apache.org/2003/maven-project">'.

I invented a targetnamespace (I don't have that much project.xml files 
that I'll have to change later, yet ;-) ) and tried to verify my 
project.xml with xerces. No luck. Xerces finds an error in 
maven-project.xsd (just try it, I'm not an XSD expert and me explaining 
things won't help).

As it is never a positive experience to come across those problem when 
"giving things a try", I think this should be fixed.

  - Michael
