| to generate Java beans from your XML schema, we recommend that |
| you create a Java project to contain both the schema and the beans. |
| The beans must be contained in a Java project, however, the XML schema does |
| not have to be. Otherwise, it does not matter what kind of project you create.</li> |

| All Wizards</span> check box.</li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>Select the project or folder that will contain the XML schema. |
| In the </span> <span class="uicontrol">File name</span> field, type the name of |
| the XML schema, for example <kbd class="userinput">MyXMLSchema.xsd</kbd>. The name |
