REPORT #314 Details.

Project: Ant
Category: Feature Requests
SubCategory: Enhancement
Class: suggest
State: received
Priority: low
Severity: non-critical
Confidence: public
Environment: 
   Release: Ant 1.1
   JVM Release: 1.2
   Operating System: Linux
   OS Release: RH 6.2
   Platform: x86

Synopsis: 
Emacs (or generic IDE) compatible error reporting

Description:
The output format generated by org.apache.tools.ant.DefaultLogger (I think 
that's the class) obscures error reporting information from the compiler by 
prepending [javac] in front of each error line. Although this is visually 
appealing, it throws off error parsing features of Emacs (and probably other 
IDEs) that will automatically place your cursor at the point of the error. I 
recommend an option to Ant to allow users of such error processing tools to 
turn off the "mutilating" reporting in favor of a format that is more similar 
to "make". Perhaps a new logger class "MakeLikeLogger" could be created and 
inserted in the lister list at startup to provide such a feature.
