[Helios]

WST appears to be the contributor of a spurious Validate menu entry to the Sample Ecore Editor.

The Ecore Editor provides a validate entry that validates models.

WST's alternate entry seems to always succeed and so can confuse users as to the validity of their models.

[Also when trying to debug this entry, there is no Jar source for ResultsDialog.]

Hi Edward, this is a known limitation. I will mark this as a duplicate of bug 197617. Feel free to re-open if you disagree.

Deserves to be reopened as major since it is still wasting a lot of user's time.
