Compile Error Window

The Compile Error Window hi-lights errors within your program.

Compiler Window

The Compile Error Window will be displayed automatically if the compiler that you have selected in the JEditor options dialog detects an error with in the file that you are compiling.

The errors are displayed in a list format, and this allows you to hi-light an error line, if javac is being used, and the current window in JEditor is the same as the file which contains the error, then JEditor will find the error line for you, and hi-light it in the current window.

To close the window just click on the window close icon, or alternatively correct the error and re-compile.
If you recompile a file and the Compile Error Window is open then the window will automatically close, and only re-open if the compiler finds another error.

Notes : JEditor compiles java files from disc. If you have made any alterations to a Java file, you have to save the changed file before compiling, otherwise JEditor will compile the original unchanged file.
