Alexey Kazakov commented on JBIDE-3082:
---------------------------------------

>> All project-level Seam Validator settings are set to IGNORE.
>> However, since 3.0.0GA of JBoss Tools, the Seam Validator runs whenever I save a Java or XHTML file. 

If you set all preferences to IGNORE then Seam validator thread is started anyway but only to check the prferences and stop working. It doesn't do any real validation at all.
If you want not to start new threads at all then disable it as Max adviced.

>> The Seam Validator is less resource intensive than in previous releases, but can still bog down Eclipse/JBoss Tools - cause a stutter of about 5 seconds whenever it kicks off. 

I can't reproduce it. 5 seconds for checking preferences is to much ;) Are you sure you see a seam validator working? There is a lot of WTP's validators.

>> Furthermore, it seems the Validator continuously checks files that it has already checked - even ones that have not changed since the last Validation.

Seam validator is incremental.
When you save some file the vaildator validates only:
- changed file
- all resources that are related with changed file. For example xhtml with #{comp.pr} is related with java class with @Name("comp").
- all resources with unresolved seam context variables. For example if you changed @Name("comp") then maybe some unresolved ELs correct now. It's may be the bigest list of files if you have a lot of unresolved variables. So maybe we should disable this rule. Thoughts?

If you rebuild the whole project then we validate every resource.
