Please close this issue.  There's now working validator code, but it's going in with the patch with the new EJB JAR bean tree since it's dependent on that.

Description:
NOTE: this code shouldn't be committed yet, as we need to pick an XML tool first (it currently works against XMLBeans, which is commented out of the build).

This is a start on a validator tool.  It is meant to work kind of like JUnit, in that you write a bunch of test methods in one or more test classes.  The validator base class knows how to reflect on the test class and run all the methods that start with "test", manage the validation status code (success, warning, error, etc.) and so on.  Each test class can declare a DTD XPath of interest (like /ejb-jar/enterprise-beans/session to match session beans) and will get called once for each "hit" with an argument matching the DD node that matched.

Right now the base code is in o.a.g.validator and there's a quick sample showing what the test class looks like in o.a.g.validator.ejb.SessionBeanTests

My intention is that the tests use some kind of code for their messages and we read that out of a resource bundle.  I haven't implemented the actual lookup yet, but the infrastructure is there.  I'm still not decided on whether the codes should look like "ejb.home.not.public" or "ejb.5.3.2.1" or what.
