How to turn on validation on a WTP XML editor? [message #226314]

Hey, all,

I override the validators for wtp xml editor. Then I use the extension
point to add it:

org.eclipse.wst.validation.validator

However, it seems that some configuration still needed to make the
validator work. Where is the place we turn on a customized validator? Is
it somewhere in sourceViewerConfiguration?

Any hint will be highly appreciated! thanks very much!

Have a nice day!
Frank

I finally figured it out. The project nature is configured properly. The
validation builder is configured properly.

But very weird, it got fixed after adding the dependency
org.eclipse.ui.externaltools.

Not sure why the plug-in is needed.

Thanks,
Frank

I agree that it's very weird that it got fixed after adding the dependency
org.eclipse.ui.externaltools. That should not be necessary.

The validation extension point you mentioned is actually the older
validation framework. I would recommend you using the new v2 validation
framework instead.

And the extension point is:
org.eclipse.wst.validation.validatorV2

Here's a presentation on the framework:

(and the validator code also be Javadoc'd)
