Rainer,

Sorry for the inconvenience. This has been identified as a bug and will be fixed in the next release of 2.7. The current workaround is to change the XML editors validation setting from ‘All XML Files’ to “Deployment Descriptors Only”. At that point if you’d like to validate individual XML files that aren’t deployment descriptors you can open them in the editor, right-click, and select validate from the context menu.

Rainer,
Per Scott’s suggestion to me (I have this problem too) you may want to find all the XML, TLD and DTD files in your project, right click on each one and “validate” it and find which one dies.

[Scott Anderson]

That would help a lot. If we have a reproducable case of this then I know we can get a valid fix. If the workaround doesn’t work, then it means that the file causing the problem exists directly in your project’s META-INF or WEB-INF directory.

I’ve encountered the same exact error when “importing” an existing struts project (by pointing the new project wizard at an existing file hierarchy.)

Turning off validation in the myeclipse XML editor did not fix the problem.

But, I noticed later that the error stopped occuring right after I “shared” the project, making myeclipse pay attention to the CVS dirs which already existed at time of import. Next, I tried reimporting another copy of the same project with all the CVS dirs removed, and no error occured.

So, at least in my case, the problem seems somehow related to the presence of the CVS dirs in a non-shared project.

Fritz,

This is very interesting. It’s definately a place for us to start running down the root cause of this. Thanks for posting the detailed description.
