Installation

Ensure you have a Java runtime installed, version 1.4 or later. Runtimes may be downloaded e.g. from http://java.com.
Download the binary distribution and unzip the file probatron.jar to a suitable location.
Assuming you can invoke Java using the command java, at the command line type:

   java -jar path/to/probatron.jar

You should see a copyright statement followed by this usage hint:
   usage: java org.probatron.Probatron [Schematron-schema] [XML-document]

Usage

Pass a Schematron schema and an XML document to Probatron like so:

   java -jar path/to/probatron.jar mySchema.sch myInstance.xml

The results of the process should appear at standard output and can be redirected in the usual ways. By default a plain-text report is emitted. Processing errors appear at standard error.

Configuration

System properties can be used to configure how the application behaves. Set a system property or properties like so:

   java -Dmy-system-property=value -jar probatron.jar ...

Available properties are set out in the table below.

Property	Values	Function
`error-format`	`xml`, `text`	Switches between plain-text output and SVRL report. The default value is `text`.
`relaxng-schema-location`	a URI	Switches on validation against the `RELAX NG` schema at the specified location, resolved against the current working directory

In the latest probatron.jar, it first expects the document.xml then the schematron.sch :

java -jar /path/to/probatron.jar myInstance.xml mySchema.sch
