Using XML Validation Builder [message #147737]

Hi,

I want to invoke the XML validation builder whenever a file with extension
xyz is saved (these files contain XML). I also want to add the XML
validation builder to my project nature.

I believe the XML validation builder's id is
"org.eclipse.wst.validation.validationbuilder". If that's true, then I
can add the builder to my project nature in the normal way. I still need
to know, however, how to indicate to the builder that .xyz files should be
validated on save. Any guidance is appreciated.

Thanks,
Rich

See bug 86385. Vote wisely.

Craig,

Thanks for your quick response. Let me see if I understand what I should
do to specify a new file extension (.xyz) to the XML validation builder
before bug 86385 is addressed.

My goal is to have the XML validation builder automatically run whenever a
xyz file is saved in projects that have nature "MyNature". In my plugin
project's plugin.xml file, I could implement the following extension:

<extension
id="xzyValidator"
name="XYZ_VALIDATOR"
point="org.eclipse.wst.validation.validator">
<validator>
<projectNature
include="false"
id="com.mycompany.MyNature">
</projectNature>
<filter
objectClass="org.eclipse.core.resources.IFile"
caseSensitive="false"
nameFilter="*.xyz">
</filter>
<helper
class="org.eclipse.wst.xml.core.internal.validation.core.Helper ">
</helper>
<run
class="org.eclipse.wst.xml.ui.internal.validation.Validator ">
</run>
</validator
</extension>

Did I correctly specify the helper and run classes? What does the
"include" attribute in the "projectNature" element do? More generally,
when I view the validator extension point in the plugin manifest editor,
almost none of the elements or attributes have descriptive text associated
with them. Does the complete documentation for the extension point exist
elsewhere?

Thanks,
Rich

I think your approach is correct ... sadly it's the best that can be done
until the aforementioned bug is addressed. Basically you need to provide
a plugin that 'pre-reqs' the XML validator plugin and supply your own
'copy' of the extension point to supply the 'xyz' file extension.

I'm not aware of any documentation for this extension point. This
extension point is _NOT_ API so it could change in the future without
warning.
