Validator2 won't run on build? [message #976187]

Hi All,
I'm new to the validation framework and I am building a custom validator for some Javascript that is hosted on a remote server. I can get it to validate manually; but nothing happens on a build.

I used the validator extension point:

<extension
         id="com.orchestrap.ops.opsValidator"
         name="OPS Validator"
         point="org.eclipse.wst.validation.validatorV2">
      <validator
            build="true"
            class="com.orchestral.ops.tools.validation.OPSValidator"
            manual="true">
         <include>
            <rules>
               <fileext
                     caseSensitive="false"
                     ext="op">
               </fileext>
            </rules>
         </include>
         <group
               id="com.orchestral.tops.group">
         </group>
         <messageCategory
               id="com.orchestral.tops.errorMessageCategory"
               label="OPS Errors"
               severity="error">
         </messageCategory>
      </validator>
   </extension>

and implemented it:

public class OPSValidator extends AbstractValidator {
	
	public OPSValidator() {
		System.err.println("OPSVAl is here!");
		
	}

	@Override
	public ValidationResult validate(IResource resource, int kind,
			ValidationState state, IProgressMonitor monitor) {
		System.err.println("OPSVAl validating: "+resource.getName());
		List<ScriptValidationProblem> probs = getValidationProblems(resource);
		ValidationResult vr = new ValidationResult();
		for (ScriptValidationProblem p : probs){
			ValidatorMessage message = ValidatorMessage.create(p.getMessage(), resource);
			message.setAttribute(IMarker.SEVERITY, IMarker.SEVERITY_ERROR);
			message.setAttribute(IMarker.LINE_NUMBER, p.getLineNumber());
			vr.add(message);
			vr.incrementError(1);
		}
		return vr;
	}

	@Override
	public ValidationResult validate(ValidationEvent event,
			ValidationState state, IProgressMonitor monitor) {
		return validate(event.getResource(), event.getKind(), state, monitor);
	}

	private List<ScriptValidationProblem> getValidationProblems(IResource resource){
		try {
			if (resource.getLocationURI().getScheme().equals(OpsCmsFileSystem.OPS_SCHEME)){
				OpsCmsFileStore store = (OpsCmsFileStore)EFS.getStore(resource.getLocationURI());
				return store.getValidationProblems();
			}
		} catch (CoreException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		return Collections.EMPTY_LIST;
	}
}

and it all works for manual validation (i.e. if I right click and select validate in the context menu; but nothing happens off a build (I've tried automatic building; cleaning and building manually; nothing happens).

I've checked the preferences to ensure my validator shows up and has the manual and build options checked; all good.

So what else do I need to do to get my validator to validate my resources on build?

Do I need specific natures; do I need a specific builder in my .project file? For completeness; here is my .project file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<projectDescription>
	<name>OPS</name>
	<comment></comment>
	<projects>
	</projects>
	<natures>
		<nature>org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.core.jsNature</nature>
		<nature>com.orchestral.opsNature</nature>
		<nature>org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.nature</nature>
	</natures>
</projectDescription>

Any and all help much appreciated!

Looks like the Validation Builder itself is not set on the project. The project's Validation property page can do that for you. It should add this to your .project file, before the natures tag:

<buildSpec>
<buildCommand>
<name>org.eclipse.wst.validation.validationbuilder</name>
<arguments>
</arguments>
</buildCommand>
</buildSpec>
