Getting schema validation working in Eclipse with Coherence 3.7.1.0

Question

Just wondered if anyone had got schema validation to work in Eclipse (3.5 - Galileo) for Coherence 3.7.1.0?
The Coherence developer docs show that you should add sections like this:
<pof-config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/coherence/coherence-pof-config"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.oracle.com/coherence/coherence-pof-config
coherence-pof-config.xsd">
However, if I use that "shortened" form (for cache, pof, etc. configs) Eclipse gives a warning "No grammar constraints (DTD or XML schema) detected for the document." and the schema validation fails to work (i.e. no "auto pop-ups" when entering content, and rubbish content is gladly accepted.)
In Coherence 3.7.0, I'd used the following "extended" form (note the longer "schemaLocation") to get things working correctly:
<pof-config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/coherence/coherence-pof-config"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.oracle.com/coherence/coherence-pof-config
http://xmlns.oracle.com/coherence/coherence-pof-config/1.0/coherence-pof-config.xsd">
Also note that entering the "http://xmlns.oracle.com/coherence/coherence-pof-config/1.0/coherence-pof-config.xsd" in a web browser opens the xsd, as you'd expect.
Now...
I'm looking at the PofAnnotationSerializer in 3.7.1.0 and the "auto indexing" option. The declaration in my pof file for it fails as the "class" (or fully-qualified java.lang.Class version) in the "init-params" section isn't valid. If I look at the xsd on the url above, this is indeed the case, that option does not appear.
However, if I look at the POF xsd in the coherence.jar file for 3.7.1.0, the "class" option has been added, and has a newer 'version="1.1"' added to it's schema declaration. So I therefore tried to point my "extended" declaration to point to " http://xmlns.oracle.com/coherence/coherence-pof-config/1.1/coherence-pof-config.xsd", in order to get schema validation to work in Eclipse with this new schema. Unfortunately that url doesn't exist - you get a "Content Server Request Failed" error.
So, I guess my question is, is there a way to get myself pointed at the 1.1 versions of the xsd's so I can have schema validation working in Ecliipse? Or is there another workaround (did a bit of Googling, but that mainly seemed to be people switching validation off to simply get rid of the error...)

Cheers, Dave.
I had in fact had a try at extracting the xsd and pointing to it directly, and that did indeed work (had to do this following the same steps shown below using an "entry" in the XML Catalog.)
I had a look around at some of the other "entries" in Eclipse by default and noticed that they actually refer to xsd's directly within the jars, hence saving the extraction step and keeping screw-ups down to a minimum; a bit of playing around to get the syntax right and I finally managed to get it working.
For those who are interested (NB. my Coherence 3.7.1.0 install is in a directory "c:\coherence3.7"), the steps are:
In Eclipse, Go to Window->Preferences->XML->XML Catalog. Then create a "User Specified Entry".
In the "Location", add (without the quotes): "jar:file:/C:/coherence3.7/coherence/lib/coherence.jar!/coherence-pof-config.xsd"
In the "Key Type", add (without the quotes): "Namespace Name"
In the "Key", add (without the quotes): "http://xmlns.oracle.com/coherence/coherence-pof-config"
The schema validation now works fine. Eclipse shows no warnings/errors, and the auto-complete and validation are fully functional.
Still, it would be nice to get the "1.1" urls updated to point to the schemas on the Oracle site, to avoid all our developers from having to make these changes (and of course avoid them pointing at an older, out-of-date local install of coherence.)
