Description mvinar 2003-08-21 11:06:43 UTC
User problem:
-----------------------------------
Output window is very hard to use, it typically is
scrolled outside of the useful data, and does not
provide valuable information, specifically for
compilation errors.
Also problematic is the fact that each process
execution opens a new output window, the user then
typically ends up with large number of opened
outputs which he has to manually close.

User need:
-----------------------------------
The output window needs to display as much
information as possible in a way that is valuable
to the user.

Product requirement:
-----------------------------------
Improve the compiler output and output window
behavior. Also improve the opening/closing
behavior of output windows for multiple process
executions.
