A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
With JDK 1.6, validating an XML File want work anymore like it in JDK 1.5 does.

I think it seems to be a problem with creating a Schema like:
javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory.newSchema(Source[] schemas)
After executing this, i got that error:
s4s-elt-schema-ns: The namespace of element 'xs:schema' must be from the schema namespace, 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema'.

I found an similiar Problem in Forums:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5134606

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
For testing you need Shema-Files and an XML File. You can download my Sample-Files I used here:

datei1
datei2
datei3
datei4

.. next see SourceCode

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

work with JRE 1.5
