Description Simeon Andreev CLA 2018-11-02 03:57:42 EDT 
See bug 540499. As soon as plug-in org.eclipse.wst.validation.ui is included in a product, a context menu entry "Validate" appears in every context menu in every possible context.

This is an overkill and clutters the UI. It would be great if we have:

1. A better location for the menu entry. Currently its at the "additions" of the context menu, e.g. where "Run As" and "Debug As" is.
2. Activation rules for the menu entry. Right clicking inside a Java editor and seeing a "Validate" entry brings up all the wrong questions a user can have (even worse for e.g. xtext custom defined DSL).
