[wtp-dev] org.eclipse.wst.validation.validator ext point support for fac

[Vijay Bhadriraju <vbhadrir@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This is regards to enhancement https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=118448
for WTP 1.5.

The support for the org.eclipse.wst.validation.validator
ext point recognizing facets filters has been added. The J2EE validators
(ejb, ear, war,app client and connector validators ) have been migrated
to use facets filters. Any validators extending the validator ext point
can define natures (one or more) or facets (one or more) filters or both.
Here is sample of the facet element that the ejb validator defines.

<facet
     facetId="jst.ejb">
</facet>

Here are the different scenarios on how these filters work.

1. If just the nature(s) filter is defined then the validator enables on
the projects that has that nature

2. If both nature(s) and facet(s) filters are defined then the validator
is enabled on projects with those nature(s) and facet(s) only

3. If just facet(s) filters are defined then the validator is enabled on
projects with only that facets ignoring any natures present on the project.

4. If neither nature or facet filters are defined then the validator is
free for any project and is enabled on any project.

Please free to update any comments you
have on this enhancement to the 118448
 defect.

Thanks,

Regards, Vijay
