This Eclipse plug-in project is a code generator that outputs a W3C validated XML Schema Definition from any Java class. The plug-in is designed for the Eclipse 3.1 Java perspective. Inside of Eclipse, the Java-X plug-in provides a context-sensitive menu item offering to generate an XSD file that represents the selected Java class. The XSD file can then be used to create a database schema, form the basis of a SOAP package, Web service, or any other depiction of the fields in the class.

The Java-X plug-in is offered under the terms and conditions of the Open Source Initiative's Common Public License, and includes components from Apache's XML Project. Download Java-X from http://www.java-x.us/
