title: web-app_2_5.xsd showing errors when validating web.xml in eclipse
body: <p>I have no idea what I could've done to cause this because my time spent programming is stretched out and I've already forgotten what I might've done. But now when I load Eclipse it says:</p>
  
  <pre><code>The errors below were detected when validating the file "web-app_2_5.xsd" via the file "web.xml".  In most cases these errors can be detected by validating "web-app_2_5.xsd" directly.  However it is possible that errors will only occur when web-app_2_5.xsd is validated in the context of web.xml. 
  s4s-elt-character: Non-whitespace characters are not allowed in schema elements other than 'xs:appinfo' and 'xs:documentation'. Saw 'JDK 6 XML-related APIs'.
  The entity name must immediately follow the '&amp;' in the entity reference.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My first few lines of web.xml looks like so. </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
  &lt;web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
   xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
   xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
   id="WebApp_ID" version="2.5"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've read that it could be an error with the server where the file is being retrieved from, or with caching. I've disabled and cleared the cache and as far as I can tell the server is the same everyone else is using unless they switched to an oracle.com url and I haven't found it yet. </p>
  
  <p>Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. </p>
