[NeXus-committee] nxvalidate?

[Pete Jemian]

Mark:

I believe both nxvalidate and NXvalidate are broken at this time.
See my Sept 2 comments: 
https://github.com/nexusformat/definitions/issues/300

It is planned to fix this at the NeXus Code Camp in December:
http://wiki.nexusformat.org/NIAC2014_CodeCamp
Look on that page for "validation tools (nxvalidate or NXvalidate)"

The Java version of NXvalidate is in the NeXus code repository under 
<code>/applications/NXvalidate.

    https://github.com/nexusformat/code

I cannot find code to the command-line nxvalidate tool on the NeXus 
GitHub code repository.
