Description

While discussing: http://s.apache.org/ff

I had the idea to create a tool that would simply wrap o.a.oodt.cas.pushpull.util.ExpressionValidator and run that command on all the regular expressions in a PushPull RemoteSpecs directory. So we could then have a bash or tcsh script that wraps that to the effect of:

./validate_remotespecs /path/to/remotespecs/dir

Which would then run, and print out line by line:

[regex string]: valid | not valid

If it's not valid, you also get the error message.
