Bug 218101 - Allow validation of files outside of projects

Bug 218101 is a feature request for the source editor.  The reporter wants to use the validator for casual editing, e.g. editing files that do not belong to any project.  But Eclipse currently doesn't support this feature.  You have to put the file inside a project in order to validate.  This feature is not available in I20081211-1908 build.  So.... I'll give this one a try...

FYI:
XML is in a project
XML is not in a project

The "validate" function groups in the project related function.  Also.. the path column in "Problem" view is refers to the project path.  Um... Is it designed to work only in project?  Does it work outside of the project? Only code will tell....

 Allen,
Your Bug (feature) does not need to much investigation. You could start looking into code (i.e. try to locate it) and working with it.
Please let me know if you need my help.
