default, the workbench validates your files automatically after any build, | |
including automatic builds. You can also begin the validation process manually | |
without building.</p><p>On the workbench Preferences window, you can enable | |
or disable validators to be used on your projects. Also, you can enable or | |
disable validators for each enterprise application module project individually | |
on the Properties page for that project.</p><p>Each validator can apply to | |
certain types of files, certain project natures, and certain project facets. | |
When a validator applies to a project facet or nature, the workbench uses | |
that validator only on projects that have that facet or nature. Likewise, | |
most validators apply only to certain types of files, so the workbench uses | |
those validators only on those types of files.</p><p>To validate your files, | |
complete the following steps:</p></context> | |
