XML Validator runs and runs [message #188419]

We have a servlet based Eclipse project that has a web.xml file that is
properly formed. We recently added WTP 1.5.3 to our environment. If you
choose the new validate project menu option that was added by WTP, the XML
Validator will run (as a background process) nonstop attempting to validate
web.xml. After about 10 mins, you will get a warning that it failed
attempting to load http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd, but the
validator will just keep running.

Why does it fail to load the DTD? I can navigate to that location just
fine.

I did see a problem report to allow you to pick and choose which
files/directories the validator should ignore, so I guess I'll add a vote to
that, but in the short term is there any solution?

Also, is there a way to programmatically turn off the validate per project
maybe as an ext point or something in the project nature as opposed to
manually going to the project props and doing it? We have some projects
that don't need the validate at all and would like to disable it when the
project is created.

thank you

Are you perhaps behind an Internet proxy? If so, you need to configure
Eclipse to use your proxy settings, in Preferences > Internet > Proxy
Settings.

Hope this helps,
