Re: [wtp-dev] WST validation framework and problem view

Lionel,
You would need a subclass of org.eclipse.wst.validation.AbstractValidator
plugged into the org.eclipse.wst.validation.validatorV2 extension point.
 Take note that the message reporting mechanism is a little different
as the V2 framework was created after the source validation framework.

Hi Nitin,

thanks for this clear answer!

I'm using the SSE source validation extension point, which creates temporary
annotations. How can I create Marker-based annotations?

Thanks
Lionel

about what gets shown where.

Lionel, 
Maybe there's some confusion about what gets shown where.

• Validators run by the Validation Framework create Markers, implementors of org.eclipse.core.resources.IMarker.
• Validators run by SSE Source Validation only create Annotations, subclasses of org.eclipse.jface.text.source.Annotation
• The Problems/Markers views only show Markers.
• Text editors only ever show text Annotations, but how they're shown is up to the editor and the Annotations preference page, whether that is painted in the source itself (red squigglies/"the sea of red"), the overview ruler (right-side), or with an image in the vertical ruler (left-side).
• Markers are (more or less) automatically represented by text Annotations in text editors.
• The StructuredTextEditor only paints images in the vertical ruler for Marker-based Annotations. We've had concrete feedback in the past about showing images for both temporary problems and Markers being confusing.

So, the question is: which extension point are you using?
