How can I configure the Facelets Validator to recognize single quotes the same way it reconizes double quotes?

When using single quotes around attribute values, as opposed to double quotes, the Facelets validator reports the error “missing opening quote”
If I replace all single quotes with double quotes, the error goes away. I really don’t want to replace all the single quotes with double quotes across numerous files.

I am using MyEclipse 7.1.1.

Sample xhtml:
```
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<html xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'
    xmlns:ui='http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets'
    xmlns:h='http://java.sun.com/jsf/html'
    xmlns:f='http://java.sun.com/jsf/core' xml:lang='en' lang='en'>
    <head>
        <title>My Facelets Page</title>
        <meta http-equiv='keywords' content='enter,your,keywords,here' />
        <meta http-equiv='description'
            content='A short description of this page.' />
        <meta http-equiv='content-type' content='text/html; charset=UTF-8' />

        
    </head>
    <body>
        <p>
            <ui:insert name='body'>
            This is my JavaServer Facelets page.

            <h:form id='myform'>
                <h:commandButton action='#{myHandler.nextPageAction}'
                    value='#{message.nextPage}' />
            </h:form>
            
            </ui:insert>
        </p>
    </body>
</html>
```

Interesting. I am unable to reproduce this issue on ME7.1.1. Can you copy and paste your installation details here? You need to go to MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Detail.

I’m afraid there is not option in MyEclipse that would allow you to do this.

In that case, is it a bug? Should the facelets validator recognize single quotes also so that it does not report the error? It seems to me that this is a parsing error in the validator. The errors are not reported immediately. The error shows up after the validator runs. Either when changing and saving the file or manually running the validator.

If you are unable to reproduce the error, I would like to know, because every member of my team of 7 developers sees this error. The error is seen on differing versions of MyEclipse as well. 7.1.1 and 6.0.1. Any help would be appreciated
I know that I can ignore the error, but I am concerned that this error may cause the validator to report additional false errors.

There is not support for using single quotes as the primary quote character — I believe there is precendence associated with the kind of quote used similar to how you can use single quotes inside double quotes in a JSP page in a taglib argument.

As for the flaky validation behavior we are looking into that right now for a fix in 7.5.
