Validation onlyh for last modified files (and maybe related

[luxspes]

Hi!

Validation is still too slow, (we have a project with around 2000 .xthml files, and, frankly, to make it usable, most of the team plain goes to Preferences->Validation and unchecks all the checkboxes in the "Build" column (and our computers are not that slow, see Environment). The problem then is that validation is only manual (and it is easy to forget to call it)

What I would like is an option to have validation called only on the files that had changes since the last validation (even if I have opened the project for the first time, or if I made a "Clean" of all the projects in the workspace). If I have not made a change, I do not want validation to waste my time.

If have a small project, and I feel like it is necessary, it should be possible (and easy) to configure validation to validate related files to predefined depth... and only if I have a really small project (or a super huge multicore workstations with lots of RAM) have validation work the way it does now.

Environment: 1.86Ghz Cored 2 Duo with 4Gbytes of RAM, 150Gbytes HDD, WinXP SP3, JDK1.6u14


What do you think? would it be doable?

Most validators already validate only changed files. But there is a lot of validators for xhtml pages from vendors. What version of JBoss Tools do you use? Is your project Seam project?

Hi!
Yes, it is a Seam project, I use JBossTools 3.0 over Eclipse Ganymede.

Yes, I know they run only for changed files, but I would like to have a way for them to run only for the latest file I saved (not new files dowloaded from svn or added to the project)

Of course, maybe I blaming you for something the plain WST validators do... Is there any way you could control when WST validators run?

If you use JBoss Tools 3.0 then probably Seam validator is what so slow there. We have improved perfomance of it in JBoss Tools 3.1.0M2. See https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-4764
