I would have expected something that expects to work >> with any validation engine to use javax.xml.vaidation.Validator, Just to prvide some feedback - feel free to relay it back: Ant still targets JDK 1.4 and with Ant 1.7.x we even had to maintain backwards compatibility with Java 1.3. The JAXP validation API has only been introduced with the JAXP version that ships with Java5. Given the tasks are only part of the "optional tasks" section anyway, we could certainly introduce an additional task that wouldn't work with Java 1.4 and in theory even allowed validation of Relax NG or other schema descriptions. If I find time, I may give it a try (I know the validation API a bit via my XMLunit work) - I'm just not sure when "if I find time" may happen, so if anybody else wants to start with it, you are more than welcome.
