Re: Generating partial schemas

It turns out I wasn't completely accurate.

When the schema of the add-on project sits in its own namespace and 
imports the schema of the main project, then xmlbeans does not download 
the main schema and compiles only the elements in the add-on schema.

Alternatively, when the schema of the add-on project sits in the same 
namespace as the main project and includes the schema from the main 
project, then xmlbeans does download, process and compile the elements 
from the main project.

Hence, xmlbeans appears to follow includes, but not imports.

Because I want the add-on project to use its own namespace, I use 
<import>, causing xmlbeans to skip stub generation for the imported 
elements.

Unfortunately, when I later try to parse an xml file that uses elements 
from both namespaces (having the generated classes of both projects in 
the classpath), xmlbeans complains the xml is not valid:

[error: cvc-complex-type.2.4a: Expected element 
"value@http://xmlmath.org/1.0"; instead of 
"now@http://xmlmath.org/1.0/date"; here in element 
equals@http://xmlmath.org/1.0]

The above shouldn't fail as the "equals" element is declared to contain 
child elements of type "value" and element "now" extends from "value" 
(if it's helpful I can attach the schemas).

I'm not sure why xmlbeans rejects the xml, but I suppose it has to do 
with the fact that the stubs from one namespace were generated 
independently from the stubs in the other namespace.
