Richard - yup, I am using structure-builder. I might be wrong, but I think
it has two shortcomings:

1) It won't allow you to build a structure under an existing collection. I
am having to build a top-level community, and then use community-filiator
to move it under where I want.

and

2) It won't let you build a collection by itself. It would be handy (for me
anyway) to make an structure xml file of just a collection and then use a
command to slot it under an existing community.

Like I posted before, I am able to use an empty METS package file (a zip
with just mets.xml in it) and by using the packager command, I can create
an empty collection under where I want it to go. It's a few extra steps,
but it works. However, I have not found a way to script the creation of a
sub-community without having to move it after it's creation.

Thanks,

Mark
