XSD based XML Source/Target not being used properly
---------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBIDE-2869
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-2869
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: smooks
            Reporter: Tom Fennelly
            Assignee: Xue Peng
             Fix For: 3.0.0.beta1


When a user selects an XSD as the Source/Target of a transform, they're not telling the Editor that they want to transform the XSD.  They are telling the Editor they want to transform a message that conforms to the schema rules defined in the XSD.

At present the editor just loads the XSD XML document and displays that as the Source/Target.  What I think needs to happen is for the Editor to generate a valid "sample" message that conforms to the chosen schema and then use that as the source/target model in the Editor.  Since this may not be trivial, this it the reason I suggested that for XML, the Editor should just offer the user the option to select a pre-generated "sample" XML file as the source/target model i.e. to leave the XSD based stuff for later.
