 <h1 class="id_title">Validating code in enterprise applications</h1>


 <div class="id_taskbody"><p class="id_shortdesc">The workbench includes validators that
 check certain files in your enterprise application module projects for errors.</p>

 <div class="id_context"> <p class="anchor_topictop" />
  <p>By
 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>
 </div>

  The Validation page of the Preferences window lists the validators
 available in your project and their settings.</li>

 the top of the window to customize your validation settings:</span>
