Recheck the classes for errors: conclusion, nothing wrong. ( I knew that before I checked it! But…. good practice to check again). Removed anything I wrote into the validator-rules to restore it in original state -> no result.

Nice results! Forums and mailing archives telling me a lot of stuff I could do. Continue reading ‘Struts (can’t find validator-rules.xml after editing)’ »

In the latest J2EE version of the eclipse IDE crawled a bug. If you keep getting an error named as PermGen space error (look in your .log to check for the error after an eclipse crash), there is a simple fix for it.
