Archived: Xerces2 Java 2.11.0 XML Schema 1.1 Beta

This section provides a tutorial example on downloading and installing Xerces2 2.11.0 beta to support XSD 1.1.

Since the Xerces2 version included in JDK does not support XML Schema 1.1, So if you want to play with XSD 1.1 features, you need to install the Xerces2 Java 2.11.0 XML Schema 1.1 Beta version on your local computer. Here are the steps:

1. Go to the Xerces2 Java Parser home page: http://xerces.apache.org/xerces2-j/.

2. Click the menu link "Download", then click the "Binary Distributions" link.

3. Click the "Xerces2 Java 2.11.0 (XML Schema 1.1) (Beta) - zip" link to start the download.

4. Save the downloaded file to \temp\Xerces-J-bin.2.11.0-xml-schema-1.1-beta.zip.

5. Unzip \temp\Xerces-J-bin.2.11.0-xml-schema-1.1-beta.zip, then move and rename the resulting directory to \local\xerces-2_11_0-xml-schema-1.1-beta.

6. Locate the JAR file \local\xerces-2_11_0-xml-schema-1.1-beta\xercesImpl.jar to make sure that the installation was done correctly.

For comparison reason, I also downloaded and installed the regular version of Xerces 2.11.0 in \local\xerces-2_11_0.
