Fix defects and ignore the rest

For a real defect:

  1. Fix the issue in your code and save your changes.
  2. The analysis runs again.

    If the issue disappears from the list, it's fixed.

For an issue that doesn't need to be fixed:

  1. Right-click the issue in the list and select Change Status > Ignore.
  2. Enter a comment and click OK.

If you're connected to a project on the Validate server, your changes are now visible to other developers, and in Validate. Your desktop project is also updated with any changes made by other developers. This happens even before another integration build analysis has been run.

Discarding issues (CI builds only)

If you configure Continuous Integration (CI) builds and open an issue in Eclipse using the 'open in IDE' button from one of the supported CI plug-ins, this imports the issue into your open project. If you have fixed this issue or simply want to remove it from your issue list, you can right-click on the issue and click Discard imported issue. Note that this functionality does not apply to issues found from a full analysis; these issues cannot be discarded.
