+## Schema validation error is thrown, but the configuration file is correct
+Current version of `clang-uml` performs automatic configuration file
+schema validation, and exits if the configuration file is invalid.
+
+In case there is a bug in the schema validation, the schema validation
+step can be skipped by providing `--no-validate` command line option.
