Description Matt Chapman CLA 2004-08-16 08:46:50 EDT 
The JDT compiler provides information relating to errors and warnings via
IProblem instances which allows quick fix processors to determine whether a
quick fix operation is possible for a particular error or warning. However the
AspectJ compiler does not make this information available to AJDE, so AJDT
cannot make use of it in the same way that JDT can. This means there is no quick
fix available at all in aj projects - a significant loss of functionality
compared to java projects, as reported in AJDT bug 71998.
Comment 1 Andrew Clement CLA 2004-08-17 05:10:12 EDT 
I have extended the message interface to expose the IProblem 'id' (for example,
all unusedimport messages have the same id).  All the possible ids are listed in
the IProblem class and as we ship the IProblem class (its part of the compiler)
with the base AspectJ I think it is fine to expose the id on messages.  Other
IDEs are free to compare the id with those in IProblem and do whatever they
like.  In Eclipse we may just have the benefit of magically having quickfixes
work ... maybe ...

Also needed to expose the start and end locations of the problems to enable all
quick fixes to work correctly.  See the changes to IMessage.  Couple of tests added.

fix will be checked in asap, will close bug when build successful.

This works fine for the other IDE clients, who will ignore this info for now.
