Google Plugin for Eclipse

Project Validations

Google Plugin for Eclipse performs verifications to ensure that your project is properly configured. If any problems are detected, the problems are displayed in the Problems view. You can activate quick-fixes for these problems by selecting the problem in the Problems view, and hitting Ctrl-1 (or Command-1 on the Mac).

For projects that use a war directory, the validator verifies that:

  • the project has a war/WEB-INF/web.xml file
  • the output directory is set to war/WEB-INF/classes
  • the libraries on your build path exist in war/WEB-INF/lib

For each Google SDK your project uses, the validator will verify that:

  • the SDK exists on disk
  • the SDK libraries are on the build path, and in the war/WEB-INF/lib directory

For App Engine projects in particular, the validator verifies that the project has a war/WEB-INF/appengine-web.xml file.
