Error description
You may encounter an issue when attempting to validate an XML file that references a binding added using the 'xmlCatalog' Ant task. Eclipse implements the XML Catalogs structure into three main XML files for defining its mapping associations as follows: -default_catalog.xml (root entry) --system_catalog.xml (lists bindings used by application plugins) --user_catalog.xml (lists entries defined from the workbench UI) When used, the 'xmlCatalog' Ant task will add an entry in the 'default' catalog within the XML Catalog structure; entries added to the 'default' catalog are not shown in the UI, but validation should still consider/recognize these bindings when validating XML. However, when you try to make use of any bindings added in the xml-catalog.xml by the 'xmlCatalog' task, nothing happens. For example, validation does not consider the associated xsd that was added.
Local fix
You may need to use the XML Catalog Eclipse UI to add the next catalog to the catalog structure: 1) Go to "Window > Preferences > XML > XML Catalog"; 2) Click on the "Add..." button; 3) Select the "Next catalog" element from left; 4) Specify the path to catalog that you wish to be added; Click "OK", then click "OK" again. You should now be able to validate XML against the added binding.
