Description

The following error message recently popped out of Xerces:

[Warning] :5:2: schema_reference.4: Failed to read schema document
'cml0.xsd', because 1) could not find the document; 2) the document
could not be read; 3) the root element of the document is not <xsd:schema>.

This is unhelpful. The reason the reading failed is either 1, or 2, or 3. Xerces should distinguish all three cases and only use the error message that reflects the actual problem.

Grepping the source this string appears in XMLSchemaMessages.properties. I'm not sure where in the Java code the distinction needs to be made.
