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.
