This document describes the component structure for the Web
Standard Tools subproject. As the name of this subproject
implies, our scope includes Web standards, such as HTML,
XML, and related standards which are defined by
organizations such as W3C, OASIS, and ANSI. This is in
contrast to the J2EE Standard Tools subproject whose scope
is the J2EE specification as defined by the JCP. One of the
main organizing principles of this subproject is to group
all work related to a given standard within a single
component. For example, there are components for HTML, XML,
and SQL. The other main organizing principle is to create a
component for each major framework. For example, there are
components for Server tools and Structure Source Editing.
Finally, there are components for related sets of code that
do not fall into either of the two main categorizations. For
example, there is a common component for utilities and other
shared infrastructure code.

The validation component contains the Validation framework
which coordinates the registration and execution of
validators. Validators are a special form of an Eclipse
builder which (typically) does not produce derived output,
can have performance advantages, can be used for "batch"
validation, putting errors or warnings in the task view, and
sometimes can be (re)used for source page validation,
putting "temporary" annotation in editors. The
language/component validators, e.g HTML link checker, XSD
validator, and WSDL validator, are located in their specific
components, this Validation component simply provides the
framework. The component lead is Chuck Bridgham.
