I created an XML file that uses an XSD for validation. When I run 'Validate XML' in NetBeans I get the following message:

Quote

XML validation started.
Checking file:/F:/school/Fall2010/XML/XMLWork/hw1/homeWork1.xml...
Referenced entity at "file:/F:/school/Fall2010/XML/XMLWork/hw1/homeWork1.xsd".
s4s-elt-invalid-content.1: The content of '#AnonType_XMLParty' is invalid. Element 'element' is invalid, misplaced, or occurs too often. [5]
XML validation finished.
This is line #5 it's referencing:
<xsd:element name="Party" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="2">
Does it mean I'm missing a closing tag somewhere in the XSD? I've scanned the file for quite some time, and I'm not seeing anything missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Below is the XML and then the XSD..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

Well, apparently there's an issue with Netbeans and XSDs.. so I'm hoping that the XSD was fine.

Now, I'd like to find a good *free* alternative to XMLSpy. It seems XMLSpy seems to set the standard... Apparently they used to have a Home Edition that was free. I found a download for Home Edition 2006, and although it was free you had to request a serial from it. Well, since they no longer support it, they won't supply me with the serial number to activate it. So this 'free' software can't even be used.

I use EditX. Not the best but it does the job and is free... i think. I don't remember me paying for it or anything.

I actually installed that last night, shortly after posting. I haven't actually checked it out yet though.

I emailed this company called Liquid-Technologies that has a program called Liquid XML Studio 2010 to see if they offered a student discount. They said if I had to school get in touch with them they would give us free licenses (for the computers in the XML class). So I'm going to talk to my XML teacher tonight. I'd still like to know if they had jus a regular student discount for my own laptop.

Well Visual Studio comes as Express editions that are free. XSD and XML handling is very easy with Visual Studio
