When <javac> or similar tasks are run from an Ant script, and there are error messages, these should be hyperlinked to the correct source files lines, as for regular external compilers. First reported by Erik Meade <emeade@geekfarm.org>.
Should be easier with BuildLogger and so on; just need to scan logged messages for proper regexps and hyperlink them. Should also hyperlink any exceptions thrown from Ant (BuildException's): while the IDE will hyperlink the stack trace, Ant will provide a location in the build script in the first line. This should be hyperlinked into the build script so you can immediately jump to e.g. syntax errors in the build script.
Fixed, special scanner looks for lines of the form: <<file>>:<<line>>: <<message>> where <<file>> is in one of the mounted filesystems. Works for both compiler output (Javac at least), and the build script location passed by Ant in build exceptions.
Verified
Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
