Managing Markers panel in Eclipse

Question

I've got an error showing in the Markers panel that doesn't actually affect anything. Is there a way to officially ignore it so I can stop looking at that red x?

FWIW, the error is an XML problem:

Referenced file contains errors (http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd).  For more information, right click on the message in the Problems View and select "Show Details..." 
applicationContext.xml  
/myproj/WebContent/WEB-INF  
line 1  
XML Problem

And when I say that it "doesn't actually affect anything" I mean that while it may have repercussions for prod, it doesn't seem to be affecting my dev environment & builds, which is all I care about at the moment....

Answer 1

What kind of marker is it? Java problem? plug-in problem? some other? Mostly there will be some preference which if you change to 'Ignore', builder will not generate markers for that kind of problems.

Answer 2

Turn off the validation.

Go to Window->Preferences->Validation and turn off the XML Schema Validator and the XML Validator.

If you only want to disable the validation for a single project, go to Project->Properties->Validation. Check the 'Enable project specific setting' box and then disable the XML/Schema validation.
