    Hi,

    I’m using Eclipse ver3.2.0 with Myeclipse ver 5.1.0
    I use Ant for compilation and deployment of the project.

    After starting Eclipse, if I compile and deploy the app using Ant for first couple of times, it does it with no problem.

    If I compile and deploy the app 3-4 times, the HTML Syntax validator keeps on running. It creates a seperate thread.
    It does not allow to view any files or do anything while its running.

    Even if you kill javaw.exe for Eclipse, the thread created by HTML syntax validator does not get killed.
    This happens very frequently.

    Is there any way to switch off this validator?

    Thanks,
    Himanshu

    You really should be using Eclipse 3.2.1. MyEclipse 5.1.0 was built ontop of 3.2.1 and there were some changes in the underlying platform that manifest themselves as strange behavior when you mismatch the two.

    If I compile and deploy the app 3-4 times, the HTML Syntax validator keeps on running. It creates a seperate thread.
    It does not allow to view any files or do anything while its running.

    That sounds very strange… could be related to the Eclipse mismatch, but it’s hard to tell.

    Yes you can turn this off per-project under your project settings then MyEclipse > Validator, or you can turn it off at the workbench level.

    Thanks for your reply and sorry for writing a wrong version of Eclipse. The Eclipse version is 3.2.1

    What I’m more concerned is that the seperate thread created by the HTML validator. It occupies almost equal amount of memory as of Eclispe.
    Also, sometimes, it does not get killed even if you kill Eclipse thread.

    Turning the validator off is just a temporary solution but if you want to use it, its behaviour makes it difficult to use it.

    I should have clarified that I cannot reproduce a behavior like this. The validators are run in-process to the Eclipse’s VM, so I don’t know how you could be able to tell that it is using the same amount of memory or space as the Eclipse process. On windows this will all show as “javaw.exe”

    Unless you have another means at monitoring threads inside of a Java VM? (are you using a Sun analysis tool?)

    I have the same problem with eclipse-SDK-3.2.2-win32 and myeclipse 5.1.1GA. Have you solve the problem?

    yaguang,
    Do you have a reproducible page that the validator gets hung on that you would be able to share with me?

    Hi – I have a similar issue with the html validator. The validation is kicked off as part of the project building when I start up MyEclipse and seems to be running in its own thread. The validation does not complete inspite of cancelling it and the project building waits for the vaidation to complete and the only way to get out of this situation is to force eclipse to quit (kill). I am using eclipse 3.2.2 and MyEclipse 5.1.1 GA on Debian

    rbalacha,
    For the time being you can disable the HTML validator from the project menu under MyEclipse > Validation.

    Do you have a sample HTML page that hangs the HTML validator that you would be able to share with us?

    Thanks for your response.

    The HTML validation blocks any other user operation and hence it is not possible to make any changes to the workspace or project settings (including turning off the validation settings). The only way to exit out of this situation , as I mentioned before is to force a kill on the Eclipse process. The files the validator is trying to validate are a few simple JSP files. I was able to get over the problem by recreating my projects in a new workspace. I am still able to reproduce this problem in the original workspace.

    But the issue has gone away in a new workspace?

    No. I created a new workspace, new project and imported the jsp. HTML Validaor process started and cannot be stopped unless you kill javaw. This is making eclipse unusable. Is there a fix?

    Aquabay,
    Please post your information from MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details, this should not be occurring obviously.

    eburgel,
    There are a few things I could see that are the problem. First and foremost I’d suggest grabbing JDK 1.5.0_11 or later and running MyEclipse with that instead of using JDK 6.

    Ok, I’ve uninstalled eclipse, and reinstalled with the “ALL in ONE” package for windows.
    The problem remains…
    But, I think that It could be due to the fact that, in the WebRoot of my project, there is a link to jsp pages belonging to an another projet (a library).
    When compiling my project, the library is compiled at the same time. Maybe there is a “deadlock” on pages that are validated in the library, and the same pages through the link on my projet.
