This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Right now if anything is amiss with a file, it gets marked with an error indication. When I am in the middle of major code changes, there is a world of difference between a javadoc that doesn't match and a method calling a function with the wrong number of arguments. Could we please have multiple, distinct error indications? Keep the current red circle and exclamation point for /errors/; something that will prevent compilation. An amber/orange circle and exclamation point for /warnings/; will compile, but may be incorrect (unchecked, deprecated, etc). A yellow circle and exclamation point for /other conditions/; (e.g., inconsistent Javadocs) something not strictly correct, but will not affect compilation or execution.
Overtake.
