How to Stop Perl EPIC eclipse plugin showing errors

Question

My eclipse tries to compile/build Perl files in my Java project and fails. I installed Perl EPIC just for syntax colouring, how can I get it to ignore errors?

I tried going into Project->Properties->Builders, and uncheck Perl Epic, this didn't change anything.

I'm using Eclipse :Helios Service Release 1 Build id: 20100917-0705 On Windows XP

I have basically the same issue as this question, How can I set up Eclipse to edit Perl without the runtime checking?

Answer 1

I've been looking into similar issue for quite some time too. Apparently the Epic Perl plugin goes wildly checking anything/folder/file it finds inside the project, so like mine where I have config files, data directories, it goes inside and tries to validate "perl stuff", which evidently is an annoyance: the error log view displays a lot of useless information.

Did you try to uncheck the "Perl Auto Builder" ?
