A while back I was browsing SVN at apache to see what I could see. I ran across a bunch of code to manipulate XML schemas. Having looked for something like that for a long time, I was quite surprised to find out that it had been sitting there two years. I believe it was some code donation from a long time ago that never fully got off the ground.

After looking through the code I determined two things. First, the API sucks.  Second, I was going to use it because it worked and wasn’t worth rewriting. After some patches I wiggled my way into becoming the release manager so I could use it in XFire. Now we have an Apache XmlSchema site and a brand new 1.0.1 release. If you need to manipulate XML Schemas in Java I suggest you check it out.
