How to create an empty XML file from schema in IntelliJ IDEA
<p>I'm new to IntelliJ but I am trying to create an 'empty' XML file based on an <a href="https://osgi.org/xmlns/blueprint/v1.0.0/blueprint.xsd" rel="nofollow noreferrer">OSGi blueprint schema</a>. In Netbeans this is is as simple as specifying a new file in the project, selecting type 'XML' and optionally specifying the (external) schema location.</p>

<p>But how do I do this in IntelliJ? I have added the external schema location in 'Settings' but I cannot find a way to create a new XML file and specify this schema.</p>

<p>I've looked through the IntelliJ documentation and it mentions <a href="https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2016.3/generating-instance-document-from-xml-schema.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">creating an instance document from a schema</a> by having the <code>.xsd</code> file open, but this seems a 'clunky' way of doing things, isn't there a simpler way?</p>
