| <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 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 configure the contents of the Problems view to view only warnings and errors associated with |
| a particular resource or group of resources. This is done using the <b>Filters</b> dialog available from the drop |
| down menu. You can add multiple filters to the Problems view and enable or disable them as required. Filters can |
| either be additive (any problem that satisfies at least one of the enables filters will be shown) or exclusive (only |
| problems that satisfy all of the filters will be shown) The two most popular filters (All Errors and Warnings on |
| Selection) are provided by default.</p> |
| <p>Problems can be fixed by selecting <b>Quick Fix</b> from the context menu. The list of possible resolutions will |
| be shown in a dialog.</p> |
| <p class="Head">To add the Problems view to the current perspective, click <a class="command-link" href= |
