Description Dietmar Stoll CLA 2014-02-10 10:48:34 EST 
In Eclipse projects the .settings folder is usually not maintained by the user and also hidden. It may contain files which happen to have the same extension as a DSL file (like ".component" or similar). The Xtext UI builder then may pick them up and put error markers on the file and project.

I am not sure what the best solution is, maybe a better user experience would be that the Xtext builder running in the UI should ignore the .settings folder by default.
