I have managed to disable the validation, I believe, by commenting out some
lines in the project's .project file. I forget exactly what the lines were,
but it was essentially an XML node describing validation.

However, I am still having problems. I had thought that the validation was
causing this, but I guess that it is not fully to blame. I am experiencing a
freezing of the entire application upon opening a file, lasting anywhere
from 5-10 seconds, and an even more severe freezing occurring when I try to
navigate the code and/or highlight portions of the code. The mouse freezes,
the UI becomes unresponsive (Windows will classify Eclipse as "not
responding"), and eventually it will restore itself, but this can take 2-3
minutes to do so.

I have tried many different flavors of the PDT/DLTK, but at this point,
Ganymede + PDT 2 is impossible for me. I am thinking I will stick with
Europa + PDT 1, unless this is a simple fix, for a couple more months. I
have already spent around 6 hours or more downloading, uninstalling,
reinstalling, configuring, restarting, searching, reading, and cursing and I
really don't have much more time to devote to this.

Thanks,
ken
