Error description

• You may encounter an issue when attempting to validate an XML
  file that references a binding added using the 'xmlCatalog' Ant
  task.
  
  
  Eclipse implements the XML Catalogs structure into three main
  XML files for defining its mapping associations as follows:
  
  -default_catalog.xml (root entry)
    --system_catalog.xml (lists bindings used by application
  plugins)
    --user_catalog.xml (lists entries defined from the workbench
  UI)
  
  When used, the 'xmlCatalog' Ant task will add an entry in the
  'default' catalog within the XML Catalog structure; entries
  added to the 'default' catalog are not shown in the UI, but
  validation should still consider/recognize these bindings when
  validating XML.  However, when you try to make use of any
  bindings added in the xml-catalog.xml by the 'xmlCatalog' task,
  nothing happens. For example, validation does not consider the
  associated xsd that was added.
  

Local fix

• You may need to use the XML Catalog Eclipse UI to add the next
  catalog to the catalog structure:
  
  
  1) Go to "Window > Preferences > XML > XML Catalog";
  2) Click on the "Add..." button;
  3) Select the "Next catalog" element from left;
  4) Specify the path to catalog that you wish to be added; Click
  "OK", then click "OK" again.
  
  
  You should now be able to validate XML against the added
  binding.
