    Currently I'm using VS2008 for my XML editing but that seem a little bit overkill, the xml in question is being consumed by a php site. Sooo, I'd like an XML editor with the following:
    • Open Source
    • Autocomplete
    • Intellisense - equivilant to VS2008 in that it reads the schema and the intellisense is based on it.
    • Runs on Windows

    Any suggestions?

    I was looking for something similar a few months ago Phil and I drew a blank really. Didn't find anything decent that was still under active development.

    I had visions of finding an complete open source xml editor similar to the commercial XML spy, most of the stuff I downloaded were like poor versions of notepad unfortunately.

    How about eclipse? Though if VS2008 is overkill then eclipse probably falls into the same category......

    Jedit is a great little general purpose editor alright, XML wise it is ok in that it has some auto completion for open tags etc, but unfortunately no support for schema validation or any form of intellisense based on schemas.

    Seen those two alright haven't tried them yet though, they don't seem to be under active development any more, although that doesn't mean that they are not good products.
