You are right, it was not the case with PDE build. I could
write a half a page on my guesses of the historical and cultural reasons
why Tycho does not work this way, but instead will merely point to Bug 404634
- tycho (jdt) compiler should support "failOnError" = false.
(Oddly, they won't even accept it as a bug, but insist it is a mere enhancement).


I could also write half a page on the amount of extra
work I've had to do to get it to continue as much as it does. For the latests,
see 
Bug 405092
- [CBI] Our "gather and summarize" scripts misses some compile
errors and warnings.

Perhaps there is more we could do to overcome this limitation
in build technology .... but ... let's face it ... with all the tools committers
have at their disposal, a compile error is pretty bad, should be rare to
introduce, especially for it to exist for two builds in-a-row, and I am
not sure it is that bad to "stop everything" until its fixed.

Why does a compile error in one of the
test bundles cause the whole build to stop? I don't think this was the
case with the PDE build.

Some work to do to get compile errors "easy to see", but, besides
the huge log, I do grep them into a smaller file ... they are in 
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.tests.verifier
