Description _ gtzabari 2013-10-17 20:41:20 UTC 
Sometimes I get an error annotation denoting a compiler error which is hard to resolve without more context. For example, I just got "incompatible types: possible lossy conversion from long to int" for this line:

int rows = session.insert(rr).set(rr.id, id).set(rr.typeId, typeId).set(rr.name, name).set(rr.modificationTime, JodaTime.toTimestamp(DateTime.now())).execute();

-----
I have no idea which argument is at fault. Please ensure that all error annotations points to a specific column position, if possible.

Tip: watch out for tabs. The compiler might treat them as a different number of characters than the editor.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,

Seems to be fixed in dev build 201607060002 (Netbeans only shows one error per line so the column position is obvious).
