| <H1 CLASS="Head">Problems view</H1> |
| <P CLASS="Para"> As you work with resources in the workbench, various builders |
| may automatically log problems, errors, or warnings in the Problems view. For |
| example, when you save a Java source file that contains syntax errors, those |
| will be logged in the Problems view. When you double-click the icon for a problem, |
| error, or warning, the editor for the associated resource automatically opens |
| to the relevant line of code. </P> |
| <p><img src="../images/prob.png" alt="Picture of the Problems view with two warnings added to it." border="0" ></p> |
| <p CLASS="Head">By default the problems view will group your problems by severity. |
| You can also group them by type or not at all. Certain components will add their |
| own grouping. For instance the Java development tools (JDT) support adds a Java |
| Problem Type group. The grouping can be selected using the <b>Group By</b> menu.</p> |
| <p CLASS="Head">The first column of the Problems view displays an icon that denotes |
| the type of line item, the category and the description. Left-click the item to |
| open the file in an editor and highlight the line containing the problem. |
| </p> |
| <p CLASS="Head">You can filter the Problems view to view only warnings |
| and errors associated with a particular resource or group of resources. You can |
| add multiple filters to the problems view and enable or disable |
| them as required. Filters are additive so any problem that satisfies at least |
| one of the filters will be shown.</p> |
| <p><img src="../images/prbfil.png" alt="Picture of the Filters options." border="0" ></p> |
| <p>Problems can be fixed by selecting <b>Quick Fix</b> from the context menu. The list |
| of possible resolutions will be shown. To fix other similar problems, |
| you can select <b>Find Similar Problems</b> to locate other problems |
| in the view that the same fix can be applied to. </p> |
