[news.eclipse.tools.emf] [Validation] Re: headless validation?

["Christian W. Damus" <cdamus@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Dave,

When you use the term "batch mode" I assume that you're referring the
extensible validation framework component, not Ecore's intrinsic EValidator
API.

There should be nothing in the validation framework that requires a UI, so
it should run just fine in a headless config.  However, the Validation
component doesn't currently provide Ant tasks; you would need to create
them yourself.

HTH,

Christian
