We’ve had quite a few developers ask us for the Management Pack schema file (.xsd). We’ve now made that available as part of the SM Jobs Aids downloadable package. This is useful for any dev that is creating management packs by hand in XML in Visual Studio since it will provide for Intellisense support and real time schema validation.
Enjoy!

Great news, this will prevent a lot of those silly typos!
Hey Travis,
the zip file for Job Aids is missing a couple of other .xsd files that are referenced in the ManagementPackSchemav1.1.xsd file:
<xsi:import namespace="schemas.microsoft.com/.../10" schemaLocation="maml\Maml.xsd"/>
<xsi:import namespace="schemas.microsoft.com/.../ReportParameterSettings" schemaLocation="reporting\ReportParameterSettingsSchema.xsd"/>
Cheers, and thanks for this!
Jack
Anyone who has used this or the newer 2.0 version schema can you please share steps to use it in VS 2010. I tried multiple ways but could not get it working.
XSD verification in Visual Studio 2012 works very well if you are using the System Center 2012 Visual Studio Authoring Extensions. See blog.dietergasser.com/.../authoring-management-packs-using-the-system-center-2012-visual-studio-authoring-extensions
