Description gshyde 2008-04-25 22:00:46 UTC 
After upgrading to the 6.1 RC version from 6.0 when I try to view errors in the task list it doesn't show all errors. I
had to do a build and then click on the individual errors in the output window to go to and fix them. There were about
35 errors that the compiler caught that the process that populates the task list missed.
Comment 1 Jan Lahoda 2008-05-12 14:25:59 UTC 
Sorry, but I am afraid we will need more info on how to reproduce.
Comment 2 gshyde 2008-05-12 17:24:15 UTC 
It appears that this is another symptom of the next issue I reported. The problem with showing errors is that netbeans
doesn't see the file with the error in it. There are many other features that experience similar issues. Marked this one
as depending on that issue as well. If there's anything else you need me to submit to help with that issue I'll be more
than happy to help. Until it's fixed I've had to switch back to 6.0.

Hello gshyde.
Sorry for such late reply. I am collecting info about progress in this issue. Please, can you verify some things for 
me?

You suggested dependency on issue 134000 , that has been already fixed. Any chance it has impact on this issue as well?
(In case the problem still persist) Have you tried some recent dev builds? Is the problem same there?

As I understand it, the Task window does not reflect errors, that were found in a file. Are the red badges, showing the 
errors displayed correctly? I mean in the Projects view.

Thanks for the help
Comment 4 gshyde 2008-09-26 17:00:47 UTC 
yes, the issues with this were dependent on the other issue. It seems that netbeans' internal cache of "known java 
objects" is used by several services. Every once in a while I still have cases where classes aren't found (primarily in 
the "Go To Type" screen) but for the most part things are working fine. When an error is in a class it not only shows 
the red badge in the file and all parent packages but it shows in the task screen. Every once in a while it looks like 
they get out of sync but I think that's just time it takes between synching the views as they always come back into 
sync after an amount of time passes.

Hi gshyde, 

sorry for late response again. So the issue is fixed, or are there still any problems with tasklist?
Thanks
Comment 6 gshyde 2008-12-05 15:26:24 UTC 
Yes, it appears that this has been taken care of with 6.5. It had something to do with the cache. With 6.1 whenever I 
had issues with not finding classes for searches or the task list I just deleted my cache and things worked properly 
again (although slow the next startup as it was rebuilding the cache :)
Comment 7 Jiri Prox 2008-12-05 15:39:10 UTC 
Glad to head that the issue is ok now. I hope it will not occur again
Thanks for your report
