Validation of configuration

A tool exists to help validate the configuration file created. A script called checkConfig.sh is included to run the tool, or it can be run in the ant task. The tool validates the XML, checks that the input types have the required values an dperforms some validation on other attributes of the configuration file.

During validation critical errors will stop the build, but there are also warnings printed that should be considered.

To use the validation tool run the script on the command line and check any error messages. The demo app comes with a slightly modified script because the classpath is different, it is not complicated to edit the script for your own projects.
