Description Nick Edgar CLA 2005-05-06 09:51:47 EDT 
build N20050505

- made a change to a field initializer
- it could not load it into the running target, but I chose to continue
- hit a breakpoint in the same class
- the top 4 stack frames were from this class, and all had the red X decorator
- I initially thought this mean that my change introduced a compilation error. 
I had to check to see that there were no red Xs in the editor.

It would be better to have a decoration that more closely conveys "out of sync"
and does not reuse the design for errors.  Maybe just a question mark or something.

Deferred for post 3.1 consideration (not critical, as we've had the same 
overlay since the first days of hotswap in Eclipse).
Comment 2 Denis Roy CLA 2009-08-30 02:20:04 EDT 
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
