|  | <H3>Introduction</H3> | 
|  |  | 
|  |  | 
|  | The eclipse Web Tools Platform Project aims to extend the eclipse tool integration platform with plug-ins that support the development of web applications. One important standard of web development is XML. The subject of this contribution is the open source <A CLASS="external" HREF="http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/xmen">X-Men project</A><img class="outlink" src="images/out.png" alt="" />, a XML plugin for Eclipse, for the initial code base of the Eclipse Web Tools Platform Project. The X-Men code base is released under an Eclipse compatible license (CPL). | 
|  | <P> | 
|  | <H3>Description of the Contribution</H3> | 
|  | <P> | 
|  | The X-Men project provides a set of tools that are useful to XML developers to perform their common tasks. These include: | 
|  | <UL> | 
|  | <UL> | 
|  | <LI>Source View | 
|  | </LI> | 
|  | <LI>Table View | 
|  | </LI> | 
|  | </UL> | 
|  | </UL> | 
|  | All views handle well formed XML as well as malformed XML. | 
|  | <P> | 
|  | In the following sections I provide some detail about these contributions. | 
|  | <P> | 
|  | <H3>Source View</H3> | 
|  | This view supports syntax highlighting, content assist (based on DTDs and XSDs), highlighting of the corresponding tag and an instant updating outline view. | 
|  | <P> | 
|  | Figure 1: Source View with corresponding tag highlighting<BR /> | 
|  | <IMG CLASS="inline" SRC="source8105.jpg" ALT="Figure 1: " width="838" height="613" /> | 
|  | <P> | 
|  | <P> | 
|  | <P> | 
|  | <H3>Table View</H3> | 
|  | Sometimes, especially with large XML documents, the source view isn't the right tool to view XML. You need a view more adapted to the hierarchical structure of XML. The table view provides such a tool. | 
|  | <P> | 
|  | Figure 2: Table View<BR /> | 
|  | <IMG CLASS="inline" SRC="table7a44.jpg" ALT="Figure 2: " width="832" height="613" /> | 
|  | <P> | 
|  | <H3>Summary</H3> | 
|  | <P> The X-Men contribution will complete the XML development tools and also | 
|  | provide a point for discussion and alternative ways of achieving the goals | 
|  | with different design decisions. |
