When running Eclipse Kepler and importing an existing Maven project, Eclipse hangs during "Building Workspace (XX%)". Switching to the Progress tab reveals a "Validating nnn"; it looks like it’s validating a directory containing JavaScript files.
In these situations, autobuild can be turned off through Window > Preferences > General > Workspace > Build automatically. Even for smaller workspaces, turning off autobuilding may be a useful feature.
Kill Eclipse process.
Go to project folder and edit .project file.
Remove the following lines (it will disable failing JavaScript validator):
<buildCommand> <name>org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.core.javascriptValidator</name> <arguments> </arguments> </buildCommand>
Save file.
Re-open Eclipse.
