Since the most common reason for a misparse in a hierarchy-enabled node, in my experience, is having the class be in the wrong package (i.e. the user just mounted any old directory without paying at tention to the classpath), it would be good to specially indicate this. E.g. create a dummy node directly under the main node (before any source children) saying "Wrong package", maybe with a default action to invoke a dialog explaining the situation, etc. [Later] Displays a tool tip but no more for the misparse. It should be really apparent that the package is wrong; a tool tip is much too subtle. [Petr] Deferred for 3.0
Nothing has changed, but perhaps the tool tip is enough.
What about closing this bug? Tool tip is enough, isn't it?
reassigning
I think it is; there used to be an "error" icon when the package decl was wrong, but it made users think that there are errors in the source and they run away scared :-)
Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
