Re: [wtp-dev] Is Validation dead?

["Victor V. Rubezhny" <vrubezhny@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Oh, no. This preference is only about JavaScript - we had a lot of 
complains on old JavaScript parser that was giving too many false 
positives in its validation while it actually was not able to parse most 
of those scripts (like the minified ones), so we decided to add this 
'exclude from parsing/validation' option for JSDT projects.
For the rest of validators you can only choose to disable validation on 
a project at all using Project Properties->Validation (requires to 
enable the project specific settings) or on whole workspace using 
Window->Preferences->Validation, as well as to play with different 
validators preferences like Window->Preferences->Web->HTML 
Files->Validation (or ...JSON->JSON Files->Validation and so on).

I believe that someone may open a feature request to make it possible to 
exclude some files/folders in a project from any kind of validation in 
Eclipse WTP, and personally me finds such a feature request reasonable 
and really useful for some cases.

Regards,
Victor
