[jbosstools-dev] Automatic setting of validators

[Alexey Kazakov]

IMO this is a good idea to exclude the target folder but it's not so easy.
Eclipse, WTP, JBT use different kinds of validators. They (validators) 
may implement IValidatorJob (WST Validator v1), AbstractValidator (WST 
Validator v2), IValidator (JBoss KB validation framework based on WST 
Validator v1), and so on. There is no common API for all the validators 
to add such excluding rules.
We could use Eclipse/WTP API to add such rules where it's possible and 
we also could create a new interface for all our validators to have API 
to add excluding rules.
