Re: How do I get rid of the "Compile failed..." message from Ant when the javac task reports erros?

[Kendall Collett <kc...@convio.com>]

Not sure if you can do the equivalent in NetBeans, but I found I could
change Emacs to do what I wanted.  Basically, I run Ant *without* the -emacs
switch, and make the following change to the compilation-error-regexp-alist
(in my .emacs file):

        ; update error regexps to handle Ant builds
        (require 'compile)
        (setq compilation-error-regexp-alist
          (append (list
             ;; works for jikes

'("^\\s-*\\[javac\\]\\s-*\\(.+\\):\\([0-9]+\\):\\([0-9]+\\):[0-9]+:[0-9]+:"
1 2 3)
             ;; works for javac
             '("^\\s-*\\[javac\\]\\s-*\\(.+\\):\\([0-9]+\\):" 1 2))
          compilation-error-regexp-alist))

That way, emacs will only see the errors that occur in the "javac" task.

Yep, that's basically exactly what happens with NetBeans.
And now that I am trying out IDEA, it's even worse, because IDEA reports the
Ant build messages in a kind of hierarchical tree.  For some reason the IDE
propogates the error message to every level, so the superfluous message
tends to clutter up the display.

So this message interferes with the integration of Ant and multiple IDEs
(Emacs / Xemacs, NetBeans and IDEA)

Does any one know why this message is reported?
