The info at http://myeclipseide.com/ContentExpress-display-ceid-53.html says that XML validation can be done automatically upon resource modification or explicitly through a context menu. I am trying to enable automatic validation and I am having trouble. If I right-click on my project node and select Properties I see the MyEclipse-Validation node in the tree. When I select that node there is a checkbox labelled “Run validation automatically when you save changes to [Project Name] resources.” but that checkbox is disabled. Even if I select “Override validation preferences”, it remains disabled.

How might I enable automatic validation of XML docs?

Thanks for your time.

JB,
Make sure Project > Build Automatically is checked, validation of all kinds if hooked into the Eclipse build loop, so saving files actually “builds” them, and will subsequently validate them.
