[evla-sw-discuss] Delay models to station boards

[Rich Moeser]

The schema files for WIDAR are available at 
https://svn.aoc.nrao.edu/repos/WIDAR/schema so I don't think it's 
necessary to copy those to the EVLA SVN repository. I've set up a 
prototype maven project that takes the schemata from the WIDAR SVN 
repository, runs it through the JAXB compiler, and bundles the resulting 
JAXB classes into a standalone jar file. This is pretty much the same 
approach I have taken with the ALMA SDM schemata and it works just fine.

The Javadoc for the JAXB classes is at 
http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/asg-internal/software/evla/javadoc/widar-schema/05212008-snapshot/apidocs.

To use these classes you must add the following dependency to your 
project pom.xml file:
    <dependency>
      <groupId>nrao</groupId>
      <artifactId>widar-schema</artifactId>
      <version>05212008-snapshot</version>
    </dependency>

To use the JAXB classes in your Java code you must include the import 
statement "import edu.nrao.evla.widar.xml.jaxb.*;".

The JAXB classes included in the jar file are from the following schema 
files:
vciCommon.xsd
vciDelayModel.xsd
vciRequest.xsd
vciResponse.xsd
widarCommon.xsd
