My project current project contains very much warnings. This is due to the fact, that it was started as a java 1.4 project and now compiled on 1.6. Anyhow, tasklist only shows the first 100 messages which is in my case 5 fixme and 95 'unchecked' warning. In case one of my source codes does not compile the task list does not contain the error, because the warnings already flooded the display. What is expect is, that the messages should be gatered by severity. Most important "task" is error from my point of view.
Steps to reproduce: 1. open a messy project (or lower the display count :-) ensure that more warning available than lines. The project should not contain errors! 2. create an error -> it won't pop-up You can make it visible by changing the scope:(to any other scope) Another issue here is, when you fix the problem then the list will contain less elements, it won't be filled with less important tasks up to the limit. In my case: 2 errors 98 warnings fixing the error: 98 warnings.
