Disable XML validation in Eclipse
You have two options:
Configure Workspace Settings (disable the validation for the current workspace): Go to Window > Preferences > Validation and uncheck the manual and build for: XML Schema Validator, XML Validator
Check enable project specific settings (disable the validation for this project): Right-click on the project, select Properties > Validation and uncheck the manual and build for: XML Schema Validator, XML Validator
Right-click on the project and select Validate to make the errors disappear.
The other answers may work for you, but they did not cover my case. I wanted some XML to be validated, and others not. This image shows how to exclude certain folders (or files) for XML validation.
Begin by right clicking the root of your Eclipse project. Select the last item: Properties...
(If your browser scales this image very small, right click and open in a new window or tab.)
- Eclipse appears to be very sensitive if you click the **Browse File...* or **Browser Folder...* button. This dialog needs some work!
- This was done using Eclipse 4.3 (Kepler).
Window > Preferences > Validation > uncheck XML Validator Manual and Build
