| ErrorList Plugin |
By Slava Pestov
sp@gjt.org |
The ErrorList plugin displays errors and warnings
generated by other plugins. It does
nothing on its own; for it to be useful, some plugins that support the
EditBus error API must be installed.
First of all, ErrorList manages an error list, which can be viewed by
selecting Plugins>Error List>Error List.
Clicking on a line in
the error list will open the guilty file and move the selection to the
error location.
Errors and warnings are displayed with different icons in the error list;
errors have a red traffic light, while warnings have a yellow one.
This plugin also highlights any errors in open buffers on the fly;
for example, if the console reported that Foo.java had an error on line 10,
line 10 of Foo.java would be drawn with a red underline (warnings are also
highlighted, but drawn with a yellow underline). Placing the
mouse over the offending line would display a tooltip with the error
message, as reported by the console.
Other plugins can report errors by using the EditBus ErrorSource service.
EditBus is a system that allows plugins to
communicate and share information without being aware of each other's
internals.
