We don't call our validators (CDI, EL, JSF, Seam, ...) directly. These validators are registered in plugin.xml's and managed by org.jboss.tools.common.validation.ValidatorManager
This manager is called by eclipse wst validation builder.
You could call ValidatorManager.validateInJob(IValidationContext helper, IReporter reporter) with proper helper (validationHelper.getValidationContextManager().getRegisteredFiles() should be empty) but in this case you will start all the validators to validate the entire projects! So it's not the way you are looking for.
So you have two options here:
1. Call your validator directly validateAll(..) when you need it w/o builder
or
2. Save the validation state between sessions and relay on wst builder/ValidationManager.
In CDI/JSF/Seam tools we use KB project framework to save states. This framework is not a part of common-validation framework, so it's up to you if you want to use KB project or your own solution to save the state.

Never mind, I found the reason why the validate(..) method is called: some xml files need to be checked. They are not part of the 'changedFiles', but they are returned by the validationHelper.getURIs() method.

So, instead, I'd like to ask: how can I force the validation framework to trigger a validateAll() at workbench startup ?

Thanks.

Hi !

The JAX-RS tooling is now aligned on the CDI tooling and relies on the common-validation plugin to validate the JAX-RS elements.

So far, so good, but I have this issue that I'd like to solve: at workbench start-up, the method

public IStatus validate(Set<IFile> changedFiles, IProject project, ContextValidationHelper validationHelper,

IProjectValidationContext context, ValidatorManager manager, IReporter reporter) throws ValidationException

of my validator is called, but with an empty set of 'changedFiles'. Wouldn't it make more sense to call the

public IStatus validateAll(IProject project, ContextValidationHelper validationHelper,

IProjectValidationContext validationContext, ValidatorManager manager, IReporter reporter)

throws ValidationException

method instead ?

I can workaround that and call validateAll(..) when changesFiles.isEmpty() in the validate(..) method call, but I don't think it's the best approach.

WDYT ?

Thanks.
