RESTeasy Name Binding Annotation Error in Eclipse

I'm trying to bind a name to a filter in JAX-RS so I can secure some methods in the rest service as the following:

Secured Name Binding:

@NameBinding
@Target({ ElementType.TYPE, ElementType.METHOD })
@Retention(value = RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface Secured {
}

Authentication Filter:

@Secured
@Provider
@Priority(Priorities.AUTHENTICATION)
public class AuthenticationAgent implements ContainerRequestFilter {

    @Override
    public void filter(ContainerRequestContext requestContext) throws IOException {
         //do something
    }
}

However, eclipse is giving me this error when I'm adding the secured annotation to my filter.

There is no JAX-RS application, resource or resource method with this name binding annotation.

These types of error are not really big errors. For this type of error on JAX-RS we can mark it as a warning or ignore it at all.

For Eclipse, go to Window > Preferences > Jboss Tools > JAX-RS > JAX-RS Validator > JAX-RS Name Bindings and set Missing @Retention annotation to something other than "Error". (Yes, the preference name is misleading).

(To customize it for a specific project, click on Configure Project Specific Settings... in the top right corner)

It's not really an error that will stop JAX-RS from working. It's more of just a warning (specific to that editor).

Name Binding should only be used when you want to limit the filter to resources classes/methods also annotated with the name binding annotation. If this is the case, then annotate the classes/methods you want to go through that filter. If you want everything to go through the filter, then forget the annotation altogether. Just get rid of it.
