Java Validation

When saving a java source file that resides in a project, eclim will update that source file in Eclipse and will report any validation errors found. Any errors will be placed in the current window’s location list (:help location-list) and the corresponding lines in the source file will be marked via Vim’s :sign functionality with ‘>>’ markers in the left margin.

Automatic validation of java source files can be disabled via the g:EclimJavaSrcValidate variable (described below). If you choose to disable automatic validation, you can still use the :Validate command to manually validate the current file.

Configuration

Vim Variables

• g:EclimJavaSrcValidate (Default: 1) - If set to 0, disables source code validation.
• g:EclimValidateSortResults (Default: ‘occurrence’) - If set to ‘severity’, the validation results will be sorted by severity (errors > warnings > info > etc.)

Eclim settings

• org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.source - Determines the target java vm version (1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5).

• org.eclim.java.validation.ignore.warnings - Determines if warnings are suppressed.
