Description uaimp 2004-08-28 03:09:07 UTC 
[ BUILD # : 4.0-beta1 ]
[ JDK VERSION : J2SE 1.5.0 ]

In the attached screen shot the method acrostic should return a String. But the return statement has been commented out. The editor does not complain. 

However when the class is compiled, following error reported:
Compiling 1 source file to /home/uaimp/NetBeans-Projects/MyLib/build/classes
/home/uaimp/NetBeans-Projects/MyLib/src/org/me/mylib/LibClass.java:30: missing return statement

Comment 3 Martin Matula 2004-08-30 09:37:37 UTC 
At this point this is as designed - the error checker in the editor
does not do flow analysis, so it catches just most common errors
(unresolved types, syntax errors).
Problems like exception not being caught, or no value returned are not
reported.
