Description Vojtech Sigler 2009-06-12 10:08:02 UTC 
Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200906120201)
Java: 1.6.0_14; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 14.0-b16
System: Linux version 2.6.28-11-generic running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb)

When there's an error message in the Value column (also in toString()) in the Variables or Watches view such as '>"var"
is not a known variable in the current context.<', they are colored same as other values (default black). However, if
there's an error in the code snippet generating the value in a variable formatter, the same error message is colored red.

Red is fine a makes erroneous variables clearly visible. The other error messages should also be colored red.

See screenshot.
