Description Jesse Glick 2004-08-11 16:56:34 UTC

040810 custom, 1.5.0 b62. I have noticed for a
while now that error annotations are rarely
displayed in the editor. For example, I was
working on the file Classpaths.java (in
ant/freeform), and had made some edits to the
effect of (edited for clarity):

File entryFile;
String entryS = entryFile.toURI().toString();
URL entry = entryS.toURL();

Of course the last line is invalid; should be:

URL entry = new URL(entryS);

However no error annotation was displayed in the
editor, even after a minute or so of idle time. On
the other hand, my messages.log was filling up
with messages such as

cannot find symbol
symbol  : method toURL()
location: class java.lang.String

Looks like the parser is sending some error
messages to stderr and they are not being picked
up in the editor.

Tom already fixed this. Hopefuly your build was older than his fix.
Otherwise please reopen.
