I'm looking for a free alternative to all the XML/XSD editors around here (that are relatively expensive--at least for me). I totally fail to find one.

I need it to allow me to edit xsd files to help in writting an xml-based language specification. I need it to be visual to help with the design, making it clear. Other features are less interesting for me.

Any suggestion?

Checkout out Eclipse. They've got XSD modelling tools which work quite nicely with a graphical representation of the scheme.

Check out XML pad.

Update:

Changed the link, it seams that they are in transition.

Update 2:

The link is now back on.

XML Fox might be what you need.

XML Spy 2006 community edition was free. It can still be found on the internet but I don't know if you can still get the free licensekey.

You should definitely check out the XML Schema editor that comes with Eclipse WTP. Take a look at the blog posting at http://codegears.blogspot.com/2008/03/working-with-schema-files-in-eclipse_3125.html, it has some screenshots to illustrate the use of the visual editor.

HOWEVER - to really understand what's going on, you'll probably need to read the code, no matter how clever the visual editor is.

I personaly find JDeveloper xml related plugins very usefull.
