Description

You currently get a warning in the CDE if you try to save a C++ Annotator Descriptor or an aggregate that contains one. This is because doFullValidation is actually trying to do the full annotator initialization, including loading the dll, which will often fail in the CDE because environment variables aren't set up properly when Eclipse was launched.

For Java annotators, we don't do annotator initialization during doFullValidation. The same should be true for C++ annotators.
