[OT] I'd heard of using lint as a tool for validation, but never tried  
it before. So in trying to resolve my forrest BUILD problems, I thought  
I'd give xmllint a shot. Realizing that my Mac OS X box has its bases  
in Unix, I did a 'locate xmllint' and lo-and-behold, it was listed!  
Nifty!

(the main reason for this post & its change in SUBJECT)
I could not find 'validate-sitemap' listed anywhere (site, /forrest  
-projecthelp)... Is there a place where these types of commands are  
listed. I suspect it would be a boon to users--especially so-called  
power-users! I did a Google search[1] and found a few links, of which  
this[2] seems the most relevant (if a bit aged).

Sorry, i cannot help, as i do not bother with fancy IDEs yet.
However, i suggest that you ask the question in a separate
topic. We will add the hints to that doc.

It is the only way. Jump onto issues as soon as they become
apparent, and if they cannot be fixed now, document them
in the issue tracker.

Yes.. I saw that, but it didn't 'click' in my head that I could actually
use it. BTW, what's 'missing' from that otherwise extensive description,
is how to configure Eclipse. I noticed that Thorsten indicated using a
plugin (I don't recall which off-hand, but I know it's $$$). Is there a
built-in way to do it, or would it work with XMLBuddy, which I already
have installed?

Actually it is a relic of our recent build re-organisation.
Some targets need a description added again so that they
are listed with 'forrest -projecthelp'. Added Issue FOR-216.
