It's a little too shaky to be a reference validator just now but I'm hoping to harden it up so that it could /possibly/ fulfil that role. Also if you make the code available, I'll certainly do that in due course. then developers can build e.g. an Eclipse plugin for POWDER validation. I'm all for plug-ins for well-used tools of course. > > IMO (and most XML developers) the reference parser is Saxon for Java or .NET, which is £30 for the Schema validator only (http://www.saxonica.com/erol/erol.html). Antonis is your Java man (actually, I think Java is part of the Greek National Curriculum - I've yet to meet a single Helene who can't program in Java - even the waiters seem to bang on about it continuously (or am I getting confused with the coffee?)). Anyway - my guess is that his implementation on the Quatro platform will use said parser - is that right Antonis? The validator I'm working on is (obviously) a step along the road to creating a POWDER processor - Antonis - will you be doing something similar? If so, might it be possible to make your validator a standalone tool? It would be nice to have at least two *if* they agree on all results! (If they don't erm... well that could be more of a problem ;-)). Phil.
