Is there an IDE out there that can generate XML from XSD? Not Oxygen or XmlSpy, they are too expensive for me... command line based is ofcourse the preferred method!

A: 

The .NET XML transform classes are pretty easy to use, so if you can't find something, it would be pretty easy to whip together a simple command line utility to do what you want.

The Netbeans IDE has a wizard for generating XML documents from an XSD schema. A nice thing is that you can also ask it to generate optional and repeating elements too.

thank you, i love netbeans, didnt know this option :)

You can do it in the Eclipse Web Tools (included in the Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers).

Can anyone explain how to do this in NetBeans? Can't find it in the NetBeans menu nor in the docs. Thanks.
