I want to completely switch off Eclipse validation for all languages.

This is not the same as disabling validation of various patterns, I don't want Eclipse to even try to validate.

Version is Juno.

Click Window > Preferences and select Validation in the left pane. The Validation page of the Preferences window lists the validators available in your project and their settings.

To disable individual validators, clear the check boxes next to each validator that you want to disable. Each validator has a check box to specify whether it is enabled for manual validation or on a build.

  • Thanks, but appears to be for Indigo. There is no Validation section in the top level of the left pane in Juno. – Flosculus Apr 09 '13 at 11:28

    It's the same in Juno 4.2.2. Look out for `Suspend all validators`. Here is the correct link: [Disable Validation](http://help.eclipse.org/juno/topic/org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.doc.user/topics/tjvaldisable.html?cp=66_1_0_6_3) – moeTi Apr 09 '13 at 11:54

    This does not work with my JSP Files in Eclipse Juno: Those wiggly lines (e.g. HTML5 complaints) just don't want to go away. Seems to be a bug. – Martin Gisser Dec 20 '13 at 17:48

It might also help to disable Validation Builders:

  • Click Window > Preferences,
  • select Validation in the left pane.
  • Check Suspend all validators (2nd check box on the right pane for Juno)
  • Click Apply, Click OK

Update for Mac Eclipse:

Disable validation options as per your requirement (you may disable all also).

Eclipse => Preferences => Validation => Disable checkbox (or Disable All) => Apply
