<!-- Eclipse Validation preferences -->
<context id="jvgp0000">
<description> The validation preferences page allows you to view or change the default validation settings for all workbench projects. A validator is a tool that checks that resources conform to a specification, DTD, or some other set of rules.
Each validator can apply to certain types of files, certain project facets, or both. When a validator applies to a project facet, the workbench uses that validator only on projects that have that facet. Likewise, most validators apply only to certain types of files, so the workbench uses those validators only on those types of files.
Select the <b>Allow projects to override these preference settings</b> check box if you want to allow individual projects to set their own validation preferences.
To configure new validation settings for an individual project, select the project in the Navigator view, right-click and select <b>Properties > Validation</b>.
Select the <b>Run validation when you manually build a project</b> check box if you want the selected validators to run whenever you build your projects.
To enable the <b>Run validation when you manually build a project</b> check box, select at least one validator in the list.
Select the <b>Run validation automatically when you save changes to a resource</b> check box if you want the selected validators to automatically run whenever you save changes to any project resources.
To enable the <b>Run validation automatically when you save changes to a resource</b> check box, select at least one validator in the list.
Use the <b>Maximum number of validation messages</b> field to define the maximum allowable validation messages for the project.
If the number of validation messages reported in the task list exceeds the number set in this field, validation will terminate.
