Description Mitch Christensen CLA 2004-03-18 13:23:27 EST
Last night our build reported compiler errors from files that I had checked 
in.  This morning I launched Eclipse (M7) and assured myself that there were no 
compiler errors in my code.  I dismissed the problem as an anomoly, and went 
back to work.  I eventually opened the RemittanceEngineConsole.java file and 
noticed a genuine compiler error that was not reported outside of that file 
(i.e. either the Package Explorer or Problems view).

is it reproducible?

I deleted the offending line, and saved and no errors were reported.

I then pasted the exact same line (with the error) back in and the error within 
the file reappeared, but no entry went to the Problem view and the Package 
explorer does not show an error adornment anywhere in the project hierarchy.

Seems to be an error that is only detected by the reconciler, but not by the
compiler.
Comment 5 Mitch Christensen CLA 2004-03-19 09:00:21 EST
This was happening quite regularly yesterday, and most definitely with errors 
that the compiler should recognize.  For example, the error in the screenshot I 
provided show an attempt to call a constructor with an invalid argument type.  
This obviously shouldn't compile (and doesn't if you rebuild all).

With latest build, the update of the problem view is in the background. So you
might not get it right away.
Could you please provide a test case and attach it to this PR?
Thanks.

I understand that build results are udpated asyncronously with this build. 
However, there were no builds in progress, and this remained this way for 
literally hours.

I'll try to generate an isolated test case, but I'm not sure I can do that 
without sending along our entire source tree.

Please reopen once steps are available.

Closing as never got requested information
Comment 10 Denis Roy CLA 2009-08-30 02:05:58 EDT
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
