Problems view doesn't show problems
Posted: Wed Apr 15, 2009 4:51 pm
We are working with the Eclipse plugin of "XML Author". We have DITA XML files that validate just fine (command "XML > Validate Documents"). If - deliberately - an error is added to this file the problem view displays error messages that help to identify the source and reason for the respective error (white cross on red circle).
Here is the feature that we would love to use: On closing the file with the added error we should like to continue seeing the error marker in the "problems view". However the error disappears and does not reappear unless we reopen the file.
We attempted to change configuration settings in "Window > Preferences > Document Checking > Clear validation markers on close". This checkbox does not seem to have any influence of the problems view's behaviour, though. We also explored the problem view's configuration options to no avail.
Why do we need this feature? On updating a large number of xml files we should like to immediately convince ourselves that the newly updated files are valid indeed and that we can start the DITA transformation without wasting time with invalid source files. Just as is possible with Eclipse/Java we should like to immediately inspect all existing errors by looking at the problems view.
We'd appreciate your support with this issue.
Cheers, Aaron.
