Remove all the occurrence of a element from xsd using java

Can I get a sample java program which scans a folder for all the xsd and then

1. Removes the <choice> </choice> element from all the xsd
2. When there is a <choice> element could we check that the immediate parent element is <sequence> or not .
If its not there then wrap it by  <sequence> </sequence>  element.

I have attached the sample xsd .

Please help.

tested the XSLT and it does nicely waht you want by the way
(I think the smart way to perform such a task is using XSLT by the way)

Given your sample xsd, what would you want it to look like upon completion?

hi awking, the specification is in the question
- choice to sequence unless already wrapped in sequence then remove
that is exactly what the XSLT does

Geert Bormans,
>>the specification is in the question<<
It's just that the specifications weren't that clear to me. If the specifications were shown as follows:

Remove all <choice><\choice> elements with an immediate parent element of <sequence>.
Where there is no immediate parent element of <sequence>, convert any <choice> element to a <sequence> element.

I wouldn't have any issue. I just thought that seeing a final example of the output would confirm the requirements for me. I also think your xslt solution is the best way to go.

java domain,
Do you still need code which does the folder scanning to retrieve the xsds?
