How to exclude a Javascript file from Javascript Validation in Eclipse
well, probably I've managed to do what you need ;) It is a bit tricky. So my steps:
- downloaded Eclipse PDT (to be surethat it works for you, because I useEclipse for Java EE)
- created project TestJS (it wasJavaScript project)
- created two files, test.js andhtmlparser.js (last one copied fromJohn Resig's site)
- typed "broken" script in both of them, so Eclipse told me that there were errors in both of them
- went to Project Properties >JavaScript > Include Path > Source,there is "Excluded" to highlight andpress "Edit" button, here you areable to add what you want to exclude(file, folder, pattern).
- I excluded "test.js" file, pressedapply...
- ...and got a happy ending: nowEclipse point me out that there iserror in htmlparser.js, but not intest.js ;)

Really hope that it helps!
Following from Maxym's excellent answer: since I usually keep all my JavaScript libraries in one place and the Eclipse validator tends to find unusual errors (perhaps entirely false positives), I used the Add Multiple option and selected the folders that contained those libraries. No need to update each time you add a file!
