From http://imwill.com/eclipse-java-ee-jquery-validation-error-workaround/#.UK7jAOOe-I5

Workaround – How to fix To get rid of the annoying Error symbol do the following:

1) Right click your Project root folder in your Eclipse Project Explorer View

2) Go to Properties -> JavaScript -> Include Path -> Source Tab

3) Select Excluded and Edit… and then Add..

4) Now you can either browse for JavaScript file which has errors or just enter a wildcard pattern which will exclude anything matched by your pattern. In my case i entered **/jquery*.js to exclude all jQuery library files.

5) Then you can hit OK, Finish and OK again

6)Your Eclipse Progress View should now show a Building Workspace message

7)Tada! The Error Symbol is gone!

In addition to above steps I had to manually delete the old problem markers.

If these errors originate from your jquery source file this is normal in eclipse. If they are from your own javascript files it might be a problem.

Eclipses javascript warnings are for the most part useless. Javascript minifiers purposefully remove semicolons because of ASI and eclipse can't handle that very well at all.

Checking my local jQuery file I get pretty much the same list of warnings and errors.
