Validation error Silk-singlemachine

[jplu]

Hello,

When I try to run my script with the release 2.7.1 this way:

java -DconfigFile=ffiec_lei.xml -jar silk.jar

I get the following error:

Silk Link Discovery Framework - Version 2.7.1

Hi Julien,
If you're still getting this problem, µI think you can solv it by adding an "id" attribute to your output elements like this:
<Output id="acceptedLinks" type="file" minConfidence="0.57"> ...
tell me what you get.
