A GINO Pipeline is defined in an XML file whose format is described by a W3C XML Schema available at http://glast-ground.slac.stanford.edu/pipeline.xsd. This schema will mainly be useful if you use an XML editor that supports W3C XML Schema, which these days includes nearly all modern XML editors. XML Spy is a good choice that we have experience with. However, most pipelines will be easy to configure with a simple text editor (emacs for example)
We recommend using XMLBuddy to edit pipeline XML configuraiton files, and provide XMLBuddy installation instructions. XMLBuddy is free and runs on both Windows and Linux. We recommend it since it uses the XSD Schema from http://glast-ground.slac.stanford.edu/pipeline.xsd to make sure your XML is not only well formed (i.e. does not contain syntax errors), but is also strictly valid according to the XSD Schema. Normal text editors (for example, emacs) can't do this.
Here are the steps you should take to create a configuration file to define a pipeline. The order is important.
