Disable javascript validation from my eclipse project?

by bernt & torsten

I have been using Eclipse for my projects, recently I run into some problems with Eclipse while going through the Two-Minute-Tutorial 5  for Android. While setting up a  new project using the Phonegap plugin for Eclipse with jQuery Mobile, I got an error with my jQuery library – after some investigation – I found that the problem was caused by having the Javascript validation enabled in Eclipse.

How do you disable the Javascript validation in Eclipse, it’s not that straightforward – you need to take a few actions to disable it.

Turn off the JavaScript Validator in the “Builders” config for your project:

1. Right click your project
2. Select Properties -> Builders
3. Uncheck the “JavaScript Validator”

Then restart your Eclipse.

If that does not solve your problem or is a bit drastic for you, then you can selectively remove some JavaScript sources from validation.

1. Right click your project
2. Select Properties -> JavaScript -> Include Path
3. Select  Source  tab. ( It looks identical to Java Build Path Source tab )
4. Expand JavaScript source folder
5. Highlight  Excluded  pattern
6. Click  Edit  button
7. Click  Add  button next to  Exclusion patterns  box.
8. You may either type Ant-style wildcard pattern, or click  Browse  button to mention the JavaScript source by name.

That should be, your choice of which method to use.
