The Location Resource

The Schema Import tool stores imported resources in a Location resource in the project. This resource is a temporary holding area for XSDs and WSDL files while importing and resolving references in the resources. The Location resource corresponds to one XSD or WSDL resource. The Location resource holds the specified resource and any resources referenced by the XSD or WSDL file. You must create a new Location resource for each XSD or WSDL resource you wish to import.

The imported resources remain in the Location resource so that you can resolve any conflicts or errors in the imported resource. When all conflicts and errors have been resolved, the XSD or WSDL resources can be imported into the project.

Once resources have been imported into the project, the Location object stores a pointer to where the imported resources were originally located. You can remove Location resources once the desired resources have been imported into the project.
