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.
When there is an error indicating that something is missing in the source code the whitespace is underlined at the place where it is missing. The error underline should continue to the first non-whitespace token.
This one is implemented in our code but it is not visible to the end user since the error annotation infrastructure of the NetBeans editor tries to be smarter than the caller of the API and does not underline empty whitespace from start of the line end towards the end of line. I might eventually enter an issue there but it will not get into 6.5 release of NetBeans. Cc:-ing the original reported (Jim) and the owner of the relevant part on NB editor side (Jan). For Jim: you can check that with the latest plugin if the e.g. missing semi and the next declaration is on one line the relevant part gets underlined correctly. If you hit enter in the whitespace area the underlining disappear. Leaving this one opened as P4 for me.
Could you provide an example of such a code, plz?
Right now we decided to go for consistency with the java editor. The extra information may be utilized in the future versions of javafx plugin.
