Description

In a xml file, providing a dtd or schema declaration is not necessary but I think it is essential.
Currently the click.xml is lack of Dtd declaration header, like the following.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE click-app PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Click Configuration 2.1//EN"
"http://click.apache.org/dtds/click-2.1.dtd">

<click-app>
....
</click-app>

In the click.xml, providing a doctype declaration(the red section, it is just an example) is helpful for IDE. NetBeans IDE can use this declaration to determine if this file is a click configuration file, perform xml validation and provide basic code completion automatically ( The click for netbeans plugin provide basic code completion by the grammar api, and extra code completion is provided by Code completion api , eg. extra code completion for package, path and classname attribute value).

Please publish an official dtd online in future version.
