[jbosstools-dev] Common Validation: Help needed

[Alexey Kazakov]

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.
