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

["Dave Carlson" <dcarlson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

HI Christian,
Yes, I am referring to the extensible framework, with constraints declared 
in the plugin.xml.  For now, I am using Java constraints but would also like 
the option to use OCL constraints.  All executed via headless Ant task.

I wanted to check if there were any know blockers on this before proceeding. 
I will look into creating a general purpose plugin, 
org.eclipse.emf.validation.ant, that I can contribute back to the project.
