How to exclude specific folders or files from validation in Eclipse?

Question

We have a bunch of malformed XML files used in unit tests to check if our application can handle them.

Eclipse marks this XML files with errors, polluting the "problem view".

Is there a way to exclude a specific folder from Eclipse validators?

Answer 1

In the Validation section of Window > Preferences you can add different rules in settings (...) column, you can add a "Folder or file name rule" in the Exclude Group for XML types.
