validation of a file with a new extension "myxml" [message #646474]

Hello,
I created an editor based on StructuredTextEditor
I tried to add the extension org.eclipse.core.contenttype.contentTypes
and next I configured a second one org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui.sourcevalidation in order to have an ,as you type, validation
I also implemented the IValidator interface.
here is the declaration of my plugin extension points :

<extension
       point="org.eclipse.core.contenttype.contentTypes">
        <content-type base-type="org.eclipse.core.runtime.xml"
                 file-extensions="myxml"
                 id="project.presentation.myxml"
                 name="myXml editor"
                 priority="normal">
   </content-type>
       
 </extension>

 <extension point="org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui.sourcevalidation">
		<validator
			scope="total"
			class="project.presentation.validation.FooValidator"
			id="project.presentation.validation.FooValidator">
			<contentTypeIdentifier id="project.presentation.myxml">
				<partitionType id="org.eclipse.wst.xml.XML_DEFAULT">
				</partitionType>
			</contentTypeIdentifier>
		</validator>
	</extension>

I juste don't knwo why the validation dosn't work at all!
may be it's because my editor file extension is myxml?
any ideas?
thank you

Hi Alain,

What you have here is enough to make sure the source validator gets run. Without knowing other details, though, I cannot be certain what is causing validation to not work for you.

If you can supply any more information, hopefully we can pinpoint your problem.

Source Validation isn't an inherited behavior in quite the same way that
the viewer configuration is: if you define any source validator
specifically for your content type, no source validators are inherited
from its base types. In your case it means that the normal XML source
validation will not be used on your content type unless you recontribute
it as your own extension to your content type specifically. This
strategy was chosen to help deal with XSL files, where an XSL-specific
validator could work properly but a normal XML validation would report a
number of problems.
