THe java class
==============

public class TestXSD {

public static void main (String args[]) {
File docFile = new File("C:/XML/memory.xml");

try {
DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
parser.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation", true);

parser.setProperty(
"http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-noNamespaceSchemaLocation",
"http://localhost/estart/memory.xsd");

ErrorChecker errors = new ErrorChecker();
parser.setErrorHandler(errors);
parser.parse("C:/XML/memory.xml");

} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.print("Problem parsing the file.");
}
}

/**
* TestXSD constructor comment.
*/
public TestXSD() {
super();
}

}
and the ErrorChecker method
public class ErrorChecker extends DefaultHandler
{
public ErrorChecker() {
}
public void error (SAXParseException e) {
System.out.println("Parsing error: error "+e.getMessage());
}
public void warning (SAXParseException e) {
System.out.println("Parsing problem: warning "+e.getMessage());
}
public void fatalError (SAXParseException e) {
System.out.println("Parsing error: fatalError "+e.getMessage());
System.out.println("Cannot continue.");
System.exit(1);
}


}

minOccurs="0"
yup, if this is not mentioned, it is treated as a required element. I ran into the same thing the other day.
