Nope :( Its been too long since I last hacked elisp and this took way
longer that it was supposed to :)  I've also dropped the column index
from my regular expression.

The other problem was that compilation-error-regexp-alist is buffer
local so the add-list modifies the global value and the local value
stays unchanged.  If you kill the compilation buffer then it will take
its value from the global one.  The only way I could figure out to
override the default is to load the compile module so I could access
the variable's value and make the modification there.

Hope this is of help, dump it into your ~/.emacs file.

Because the Javac task doesn't generate a column value and I couldn't
figure out how to make it the matching on the column part optional so
it still works if its not there :) 

You might be able to do it by adding \\(:\\([0-9]+\\)\\)?
So the regexp becomes:

             '("^\\s-*\\[[^]]*\\]\\s-*\\(.+\\):\\([0-9]+\\)\\(:\\([0-9]+\\)\\)?:" 1 2 4))

But since suns jdk doesn't generate the column value I can't test it.
If someone wants to add that in and repost I wont complain.

I thought this would be a transient XEmacs problem (I've already filed
a bug report) because other people could not reproduce my
problems. Why did you drop the column part?

Thanks for the elisp part, I'm going to try it.
