Eclipse 2020-09 (for Java) XML Editor shows new errors which were not there before. What to do? [message #1834483]

Hellow!

I installed new version Eclipse 2020-09 for Java and now the Xml Editor, when opening my old xml files, gives errors in the <name: subname> constructions, indicating that there is no schema for 'subname' (see attached picture). But I don't need such circuits. these files are generated by someone else's program and it is impossible to describe all variants of 'name: subname' and their possible parameters. This error makes it very difficult to view such files and find other real errors in them.
Previous versions of Eclipse 2020-03 and earlier did not have this bug, it only appeared in the latest version.
Moreover, this error is not detected during 'Validate', it is shown only if you open this file in an XML editor.
Can you please tell me how to remove this error in the Eclipse XML editor? I have looked through every possible XML setting but nothing seems to help!

Does the message both 1) not appear in the Markers/Errors views and 2) appear when you open the file in the Generic Editor?

1) If file not opened "view Problems" does not show this error, but where file open - this error show from "view Problems"
2) "Generic text Editor" show this error also as "XML Editor"

You'll want to report this to https://github.com/eclipse/wildwebdeveloper/issues so they can untangle how to either turn it off or fix this bug (as in, you should only see well-formedness-related messages when your document lacks XML Schema and DTD references).

Hi

IMHO The images look like bad XML that should be reported by any version of the tool in the last ten years. You must specify your xmlns. If you can confirm a lack of error on some recent tool, please raise a bug.

Hi

If I'm using an XML editor, I expect to be told about rubbish XML by default. Perhaps an editing option facilitates various dimensions of rubbish.

If I want to edit rubbish XML, I use NotePad / a Text editor.

Hellow!
Notepad does not highlight XML syntax or show XML structure errors, so I consider your advice to be useless!
Arbitrary fields with correct syntax in XML are not a bug, this is normal and was fine until the last Eclipse update. As I wrote above, even "Validate" does not see an error here, this "error" is shown only by the XML editor. If "Validate" showed an error, then it would be another matter, but this is a bug.
I ask you to tell me how I can remove this error, maybe I can change something in the configuration of the Eclipse itself or the Xml editor?

Hi there,

I have Version: 2020-09 (4.17.0).

There are some settings that might do the job (I did not test it.)

I turned off all these errors altogether - and none of them worked. As I said above, these are settings for "Validate" and it worked without error before. I even turned off "Validate" for verification, but in the XML Editor the error is still shown!
The error is only in XML Editor and these settings do not affect it!
