using xsl to transform .xsd files to a xml file 1

[chrislx]

There are several schema files, one schema file includes several other schema files. For example,
<xs:include schemaLocation="C:\myCodes.xsd"/>. I would like to transform the schema files into a xml file.

Question:
How can I use xslt to get the nodes and attributes which are in the included files? I have tried to use <xsl:foreach select="document(myCodes.xsd)\xs:complexType") and I could not get it work.

Thanks in advance.

When I use imports like these, I always stuff them in threads incase you want to pull more data out of the file later in different XPath statements. That way you don't have to do the document statement over and over. Anyways, I have a simple xml file, xsd file, and a xsl file example.

This xml is from my JFaceDBc plugin for eclipse.
