The SKTEditor GUI application contains two separate CDF standard checking functions. The first checks a CDF for compliance with the ISTP/SPDF guidelines. The second checks a CDF for compliance with project-specific guidelines (e.g., MMS Mission CDF File Format and Units of Measure Guides). The project-specific validation is specified by an XML file. The example files included with SKTEditor are the following:
You may create your own project-specific validation files by looking at the provided file. This CDF checking software can also be run from a CLI (in addition to running it from within SKTEditor). An advantage to running the software from a CLI is to automate the checking of many files. The following instructions detail how to use the checkers from a CLI.- Install CDF (with Java) from
