Description herkules 2001-12-21 17:32:02 UTC

Since 3.3, when opening certain Java files in the editor, obviously a parser 
error occurs. In the Explorers treeview, the fields/constructors/methods 
subtrees are all replaced by an 'error' icon.
When closing the source file editor, the error icon disappears again.

Compiling, of course, works fine - the files in fact are OK.

This happens for about 30% of my Java files but never showed before 3.3.

I observed it on two machines @work (W2K,jdk1.3.1 and 1.4b) and @home (W98, 
jdk1.3.1).

Seems having to do with indention. In one case I could remove the 
error by just removing a 'TAB' character in front of a '}'.

Seems to be related to TAB characters. No TABs, no probs.

Comment 3 Miloslav Metelka 2002-01-02 13:34:55 UTC

I have created file with TABs but the problem did not occur. Could you
please attach some problematic file? Thanks.
Reassigning to java module.
