Ant task to validate applicationContext.xml

[davison]

Still depends what you mean by validate

You could easily create a task to simply load the context files as a BeanFactory and verify no dependency errors for example. Alternatively use the beandoc ant task to documet/graph the context, though that would need manual validation by reading the output docs.

Just implement what the eclipse plug-in does. It would be nice if the actual validation logic was moved from the eclipse project into another project. THEN write tools on top of it (e.g. ant, eclipse, idea etc).
