Eclipse Helios: Missing semicolon JavaScript Warnings

If your Eclipse Problems tab looks like this after upgrading to 3.6.2 (Helios)...
...and you're having a hard time turning that off, here's what appears to be the answer:

The Suspend all validators checkbox on the Window > Preferences > Validation screen is broken (or partially broken, its behaviour is a bit erratic). So ignore it.

Instead, uncheck that box (and leave it unchecked) and explictly turn off Client-side Javascript validation in the box underneath:

Hope that helps somebody! I've reported this as bug 338759.

Thank you!

I have added an exclude group for the file extension "min.js". Works fine.
