But the error I am actually getting looks more sinister than an unused namespace. I get the following on every call to onvdl, followed by a large java traceback:

./run-onvdl p5valid.nvdl v.xml

That said, at first glance everything seems to have actually built OK.

The errors we're seeing now, though, are from the Makefile; the nvdl

stuff is run at line 191 and 192 of the Makefile, without any ant
involvement. You can set failonerror on an ant call to exec, but the log
parser is the only thing that will catch the Make stuff, I think.

I notice that the nvdl schema includes the old Schematron namespace:


     <namespace ns="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ascc.net%2Fxml%2Fschematron&data=04%7C01%7Cs.bauman%40northeastern.edu%7C2adddfbe2c454fcb34fa08d8c6e37928%7Ca8eec281aaa34daeac9b9a398b9215e7%7C0%7C0%7C637478027897637837%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=VqPfXBMWFG4pahsArXGQnF0XJzJ%2BuD4reVMtsxbo1zA%3D&reserved=0">

which we probably don't care about any more. I think it's a long time
since anyone really looked at the nvdl.
