Hi Ken, thank you for providing this
information.
The "as you type" validation
is an Eclipse Web Tools mechanism that operates on open editors of html + php
content and validates against syntax.
The Dynamic Toolkit validation is
provided by DLTK project and we currently doesn't use it in PDT.
The HTML validation page specifies the
rules that are checked during validation of html code.
Another validation that may operate is
the _javascript_ Validtor if you enable JS support in your project.
Regarding the problem you mention, I
guess we should understand which validator runs. It can be done by opening the progress
view and see which one operates.
Regards,
I apologize in advance if I am making a noob mistake, or if this isn't
the proper place to ask this, but I have traced down a severe performance issue
with Eclipse+PDT that seems to stem from the HTML validators constantly
validating my files. It grinds my machine to a halt, prevents other tasks from
starting (tasks that *I* actually want to run), and is just generally annoying.
I am trying to disable this functionality, and I know that it's possible
because I did so previously with my 3.3/PDT 1.x install.
I imported my preferences from my old setup, which did not disable the
validation, so I turned to the Eclipse website where I found the following
instructions:
http://help.eclipse.org/stable/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.doc.user/topics/tjvaldisable.html
I am now stuck. See attached screenshots for my situation, and also I'm
attaching my logfile. Thanks in advance, and please let me know if you need
more info.
