I'm currently evaluating if/how this could be done by a plugin. Stay tuned...

I believe, it can be :)

Is this issue about RelaxNG compact syntax language, or providing the XML editor with RelaxNG-derived completions/validations?
Or both? :-)

Possibly both, although my primary target currently is to support editing the XML syntax (simple validation, completion, etc.) and completion/validation for XML instance documents based on RNG schemas. This is currently limited to the XML syntax as well (works like the built-in XSD support) and I have find out if/how I can convince IDEA to accept a plain text (or very simple custom language) file as a schema-descriptor file.

Well, the compact syntax is tricky as it requires some kind of hack (custom language file must implement XmlFile and provide an XmlDocument) to be usable as a descriptor file, but that's not too bad actually... :)

Hi Sascha,

FWIW, I am more than happy to test for you whenever you think it is ready. I have written one plugin before, so I could debug a little bit, I think.

Thanks,
Grant

Hi Sascha,

Are there any plans to port this forward to IDEA 8?
I've recently decided to start using RELAX-NG and was disappointed to find that the features provided by your plugin hadn't been rolled into the IDE proper.

Dave

A version that is compatible with IDEA 8.1 has just been released.

The latest production IDEA version is 8.0.1.
Relax-NG is not available from the plugin manager.
Are you saying that your latest release is against the EAP?

Thanks,

Dave

Never mind. Just looked at your plugin page again - 16 Jan release for 8.0.

For anyone else looking:

Any plans for IDEA 9.0 compatibility?

IDEA 9.0 please

Fixed? Plugin is available for 9.0.x and bundled in IDEA X.
