I think that's a decent idea, however, our new VDB framework does not use EMF anymore, so our built-in "build" framework that utilizes "validation rules" may not work.

Currently we have no VDB-specific validation.

JPAV, do our validation rules have to be implemented via EMF? and/or can they be applied to a simple IResource (i.e. xxxx.vdb file)?

While it certainly would be best to add them automatically like we do for other models, would it be possibly to flag a missing Materialization Physical model as a validation error on a VDB without changing the metamodel?  Would that be good enough?
