There are several areas where the hyperlinking from Ant output could be improved: - support for column numbers, where available - support for Jikes compiler - proper highlighting of the linked-to line in case of errors, and clearing this highlighting when a new build is done - highlighting of errors and warnings from Javadoc (these are just class names and method names, not full file names) - highlighting of warnings logged from Ant tasks, jumping to the corresponding place in the build script (using a custom BuildLogger, I guess)
*** Bug 8193 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Re. Jikes output: (1) build.compiler.emacs must be set to true. In the trunk this is now done by default in the user-configurable global properties. (2) Jikes will not provide the full file path for classes in the default package, for some reason. Probably this is a Jikes bug. For files in a package the output appears to be correct, and the hyperlinking works. So consider this point resolved.
Support for column numbers and standard-UI highlighting of erroneous lines added in the trunk. Confirmed Jikes output is hyperlinked, too. Warnings from Javadoc are probably too difficult to parse; better to suggest that Javadoc itself give proper output. Highlighting of general warnings from Ant tasks does not seem possible. For example, if a task just prints some warning (that we would like to link to the build script), how is that to be distinguished from a random line output by <javac> (which should be linked to the source file or nothing at all)?
Verified.
Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
