[wtp-dev] org.eclipse.wst.validation.validator support for facets?

[Gary Johnston <gjohnsto@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Are there any plans for the subject
ext. pt. to support facets?  Currently, I can specify a <projectNature
id="some nature id"/> such that my contributed validator is
invoked only if the project in question has the specified nature.  But
some tooling that extends WTP stuff is moving to facets, rather than natures,
to indicate the presence of, say, some particular runtime support or functionality
in the target project.  So it would be nice if this extension point
let me specify a facet, rather than a nature.  As it is now, the best
I can do is to specify a projectNature id="org.eclipse.wst.common.modulecore.ModuleCoreNature"
(because the nature that I used to use is going away and becoming a facet
instead).  But that means that my plug-in gets activated, and my validator
invoked, on projects it doesn't care about.
