Qu0ll,

It sounds likely to be related to web tools (I assume you have the JEE
tools installed) so I've added that newsgroup to the "to" list of the
reply...

If you have any of those projects setup with Projet specific validations
that could affect it as well. If you know that you never want those XML
files validated you can set up Exclusion filters for those particular
directories or projects as well. Check the Project Properties and then
the Validation option, or the Validaton option in the preferences for
setting up particular Exclusion filters.

Thanks - setting up exclusions works just great :-)

Note that you may still want to ensure that all your XML documents are
free of errors, so they shouldnt be excluded in the validation settings.
If the "No grammar constraints (DTD or XML schema)" error message is to be
ignored, this can be set in the "XML" -> "XML Files" -> "Validating files"
preferences section. By default a warning is shown when no grammar is
specified, this can be changed to instead indicate an error or be ignored.

That's just the point - if you read my original post you will see that I
have already set that preferences option to "Ignore" but it is still
complaining about the absence of a grammar. The only way I could get it to
shut up was adding an exclusion.

After changing the "Indicate when no grammar is specified" to Ignore,
try Validating the project by right clicking on it, and then selecting
Validate.

Precisely, just like Nick pointed out, you would need to validate the
project again. This is because the warnings must have been created prior
to changing the setting to "ignore". I opened bug 254647 to address this
issue, prompting the user that a rebuild is needed for this particular
settings change to take effect.
