The Eclipse java editor displays a “error bar” next to the horizontal slide-bar. Error locations are designated there as small red boxes. I can click on the red box and jump right to the error location in my java file.
The XML Editor should have the same functionality.
An example of this functionality can be seen here:
In this case, the box on the right is green because it designates a bookmark.
Ted,
Do you think that these red bars should replace the red X’s you get on the left hand side of the editor currently? I believe we can’t have both since they server the same purpose. But it is a good idea to consolidate the behavior across all editors.I will assume that if this request gets through, then we also want to make these changes to the JSP Editor (sine I believe, like the XML editor, it uses red X’s as well on the LHS).
Keep the good suggestions comming!Actually, you can have both. The left-hand margin is for markers, the right-hand margin is the
vertical overview ruler. The difference is that the marker margin is 1:1 with the length of
the file, while the overview ruler shows an overview in however much space vertical space
is available in the right margin. The Java editor has a very nice implementation, for example.
Good enhancement request.Scott I was just going to email you about this, thank you for the clarification I was thinking straight when I first posted.
the thread is about the XML editor, not the JSP editor:
1. Open a JSP file containing an error or warning
2. Move your spot of attention to the right side of the editor
3. got it?😉
