[x3d-public] announce: updated release for X3D Java Scene Access Interface Library (X3DJSAIL)

[John Carlson]

I see this on the the web page:


System.out.println ("===========================================");
System.out.println ("Test CommandLine invocations");
String[] args = {"-help" };
System.out.println ("CommandLine " + Arrays.toString(args));
CommandLine.run (args); // run these commands
System.out.println ("===========================================");
args = new String[] {"HelloWorldProgramOutput.x3d", "-toX3D",
"-toFile", "HelloWorldProgramOutput.CommandLine.x3d" };
System.out.println ("CommandLine " + Arrays.toString(args));
CommandLine.run (args); // run these commands
System.out.println ("===========================================");
args = new String[] {"HelloWorldProgramOutput.x3d", "-EXIFICIENT",
"-toEXI", "-toFile",
"HelloWorldProgramOutput.CommandLine.EXIFICIENT.exi"};
System.out.println ("CommandLine " + Arrays.toString(args));
CommandLine.run (args); // run these commands
System.out.println ("===========================================");


I'd like to do (-validate and/or -canonical and/or -Tidy) with several
files, however many files you want to handle in one invocation. Then
I'll be able to have 8 processors working on their own batch (with
xargs -P 8, or GNU parallel, I guess)
