validation - What are validators in eclipse IDE? -


in order speed eclipse, can disable 1 or more validators in eclipse ide. speeds loading of eclipse.

my question not how disable validators. know how that.

my question what validators do? why need them? what danger of disabling validators? if not want them, why eclipse comes them?

if use build tool ant build our project, disabling validators still have effect?

quoting offcial docs juno

the validators used depend on global , project validation settings. when validate project manually, global settings used unless both of following true:

  • the allow projects override these preference settings check box selected on global validation preferences page.

  • the override validation preferences check box selected on project's validation preferences page.

what mean?

validators feature of web tools component of eclipse. provide mechanism checking correctness of various file types (such html, css, xml, javascript).

for file types such java correctness of file determined when compiled, there no compiler file types such html different mechanism need check files correct. validators provide mechanism.

so if turn of validator longer messages errors in files.
