XML Validation without .xml suffix [message #81039]

Is there a simple way to tell the XML Validator to run on files that don't
have an .xml suffix?

Thanks

P.S. It was great to meet the helpful WTP developers at EclipseCon!

There's no "end user" way. You could "hack" the plugin.xml in the xml.validation plugin and add to its list
of recognized file extensions, if you wanted to experiment.

In future versions, we have plans to allow specifying validators by contentType, which will make it easier to
capture the right files.

In my "early" webtoools days I used this in the plugin.xml of my plugin
to tweak the file endings the XML Validation runs on.
(discussed at the webtools newsgroup with nitind at us.ibm.com as
"Problems using the org.eclipse.wst.xml.ui.StructuredTextEditorXML"-
thanks again for the support...)

<editor
name="%com.temis.scs.texteditor.editor.sct"
icon="icons/temis_icon_skillunit.gif"
extensions="sct"
contributorClass="org.eclipse.wst.xml.ui.actions.ActionContributorXML "
class="org.eclipse.wst.xml.ui.StructuredTextEditorXML"
id="org.eclipse.wst.xml.ui.StructuredTextEditorXML.SkillUnit ">
</editor>

<extension point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.contentTypes">
<file-association
content-type="org.eclipse.core.runtime.xml"
file-extensions="sct"/>
</extension>

hope this helps,

Raphael

Thanks. I just cast my first vote. If it's not going to be in the next
milestone, I will need a workaround, presumably creating my own validator
that invokes the XMLValidator internal class.

Richard,

Each validator has filter that is used to filter files on which the
validation has to run. like

<filter
objectClass="org.eclipse.core.resources.IFile"
nameFilter="*.xml">
</filter>

If you remove this filter from the XML Validator extension implmentation
in the plugin.xml then it will run all types. You can try the above
approach for testing purposes. If you really want a XML Validator kind
validator that you want run on other files type then you can create an
custom one for yourself subclassing the base XML Validator and register
this validator custom validator on your project using an extension
definition in plugin.xml very similar to what base XML Validator does
