Overriding global validation preferences

For a given project, you can override the global validation preferences.

About this task

The default validation preferences are specified globally on the Validation page of the Preferences dialog.

Procedure

  1. Click Window > Preferences and select Validation in the navigation pane. The Validation page of the Preferences window lists the validators available in your project and their settings.
  2. Select the Allow projects to override these preference settings check box and click OK. Now individual projects can override the global preferences.
  3. Right-click a project and then click Properties.
  4. In the navigation pane of the Properties window, click Validation.
  5. Select the Enable project specific settings check box. If you did not check the Allow projects to override these preference settings check box on the workbench validation preferences page, you will get a warning message since you cannot override workspace validation preferences.
  6. To prevent validation for this project, select the Suspend all validators check box.
  7. In the list of validators, select the check boxes next to each validator you want to use. Each validator has a check box to specify whether it is used on manual validation or on a build.
  8. Choose an alternate implementation for a validator by clicking the button in the Settings column, then click OK. Not all validators have alternate implementations.
