    A generic validator, has a method to validate the object and add messages to a Errors.Collector. Simple example: 
         Validator<String> validator = (str, collector) -> {
          if (null == str) {
              collector.fatal("String must not be null");
          }
      };
      Errors.Collector collector = Errors.collector();
      validator.validate("string", collector);
      // would throw an exception if invalid
      collector.collect().checkValid();
