Validation Tools

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.
