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.

  • 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.
