Description Jesse Glick 2008-07-22 23:22:11 UTC 
See screenshot. I had recently deleted the package-private static method ClassPathProviderImpl.inferRootFromPackage
(fixing the usage within that class) and saved. No error badge had showed up on the project despite the fact that
BuildSniffer, in the same package, uses it. When I opened BuildSniffer, the editor showed a red square, and the error
highlight is correct, but the file badge is missing, as are badges in the Projects tab. When I switch to CPPI.java and
back, then the badges refresh.

Generally speaking, I find that NetBeans rather often fails to detect that a change broke a source root, which lessens
my trust.

Overtake.
