Description Jim Tyrrell 2014-08-14 19:00:21 UTC
Description of problem:
When inputting java code, javac like error messages should be pushed to the problems window.  The current messages are very cryptic and not easily figured out.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.0.2

How reproducible:
Any typo or syntax error results in hard to decipher error messages

Steps to Reproduce:
1.System.er.println("Error message");
2. System.err.println(“Fired the first Guided Rule”);
If fancy quotes are cut and pasted from a lab writeup it also won't compile, I am not sure if they copied into here, but pretty sure they were submitted correctly.
3.

Actual results:


Expected results:
Good error messages from javac would be expected.
In the first case, it isn't too bad with the message, "Rule Compilation error er cannot be resolved or is not a field" but it notes file FirstGuidedRule.rdrl.  Which seems odd.

It also references line 5, but in the source code view it is line 10.



In the second example the message is, "[ERR 101] Line 10:21 no viable alternative at input ''" which isn't too bad.  So the line number is right in that output, and the line specific output.  But I have no way to know the column number in the source viewer, could we click in the source and see a 10:20 output that shows line and column info.  It might also be nice to see the line that is in error in the problem tab, instead of a message and the output of the parsed error.
