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.
