Can't Add Custom json/yaml schemas - 2021-06 #705
Description
I keep coming across places around the web suggesting the yaml section in eclipse preferences -> YML. I am using the newest Eclipse, i.e. 2021-06. There is no YML section in the preferences.
Has this section been removed in favor of somewhere else? How is it possible to add a custom JSON schema from the JSON Schema Store for specific yaml files? In my case just swagger.yaml.
I am specifically trying to add the OpenAPI schema for yaml/json from here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/main/schemas/v3.1/schema.json
Is there a bug in the newest eclipse, i.e. is the YML section in preferences supposed to be there?
I did try messing around with the eclipse preferences -> General -> Schema Associations. However it seems I would have to create an eclipse plugin to register a new content type before I can associate a new schema.
I also tried out what is possible with eclipse preferences -> Language Servers, however this also seems to need eclipse plugin to do anything . . .
So is there any possible way in the new 2021-06 eclipse to register a new json schema for a specific yaml file without having to make an eclipse plugin?

No, you can create your own content-types dynamically from the Content Type preference page.

It's not immediately obvious how to do this as a new user, but yes! You can have .yaml validation to a JSON schema. It just requires some tricky tweaking of your Eclipse installation.
For example, to configure `.bower.yml to match the bower JSON schema:
In
General > Content Types, underText > Wild Web Developer supported web dev file > YAML, create a new ChildBower YAML:Add a file association path, e.g.
*.bower.yml:Now in the
General > Schema Associations, create a new schema association from your new content type to the schema location:Finally now when you open your
.bower.ymlfiles in theGeneric Text Editor, you'll get validation warnings, and content assist:As far as I can tell there's no way to store these settings in a specific project, so if you reinstall Eclipse you'll probably need to go through this again.
