Hi

I am running Eclipse

Version: 3.0.0
Build id: 200406251208

Things work fine. If have an error in a java file it puts a sqiggly line under the error.

HOWEVER:
When i install MyEclipse i have the following build

Version: 3.8.1+QF20040825
Build id: 200408201200-3.8.1+QF20040825

This seems to have now affected my java editor and the squiggly error line do not show up anymore while editing.

Any Ideas ????

HI

Does any have any ideas to fix the prolem of the Squiggly line missing from the Standard Java editor now that i have installed the latest version of myeclipse.

This is IMPORTANT as i have lost funtionality with eclipse !!!

Sorry for the delay, but it’s still a holiday weekend in the US.

I believe the “squiggly line” you’re referring to is the error annotation marker from the Java editor reconciler. You can turn it on at Window > Workbench > Editors > Annotations > Error by selecting “Show in text”. You can do the same thing for Warnings, or whatever else you like there.

Hi

Thanks that fixed the problem. It seem that when you install myeclipse it seems to turn these off. Strange behaviour but it is fixed now. Thanks.

I thing i need to play around with the preferences more. 🙂

Not only does an installation of MyEclipse 3.8.1 turn off the “Show in text” annotation setting for “Errors” display, but now checking “Show in vertical ruler” for “Errors” has no effect! Once checked, you can hover over the area where the icon should be displayed (to the left of the line with error) and the error message is displayed (and pointer is correctly changed to hand indicating a link), but there is no icon.

I have same Eclipse and MyEclipse versions as pdelahun.

Thanks for your time in resolving this!

Update:

The missing icon behavior is an Eclipse issue, not MyEclipse. On my WinXP SP1 system I get this behavior with a fresh install of Eclipse 3.0.0. My bad. I’ll post this issue elsewhere. It would be nice, though, if MyEclipse didn’t change annotation settings.

Thanks for the follow up. We’ve entered a PR for the change in annotation settings since it was an unexpected side-effect of some annotation additions we made.
