Xml template file results in warning "Content is not allowed in prolog"

[dotta]

Put the following template content in a .xml file:

@(param: Int)<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<content>Content</content>

And you should see an annotation in the top-right corner. Hovering on the annotation will reveal the message: "Content is not allowed in prolog.".

The functionality of the editor doesn't seem to be affected. The likely reason is that the WTP parser is reporting the warning because of the inconventional/incorrect xml format.

I believe the template editor can't handle XML, only HTML at the moment.

I'm inlining here Andrew's answer from the mailing list https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/scala-ide-user/0B8ZU6YX4ic

I have even completely forgot about the issue :) There were complete Eclipse reinstallations, and last months I have no the issue even with xml validation turned on (as by default). So, in other words, I can not reproduce the issue at the moment. Last Eclipse 4.3.x. integration build is in use.

I guess the issue can be closed for now. I'll report would new information will appear.
