It sounds suspiciously like the sed filter script I included isn't
working properly. '%Z' signifies the end of an error, '%A' signifies the
start of one. Can you verify that 'makeprg' is set to use the filter:
(in vim, while editing a java file:)
:set makeprg?
makeprg=javac % 2>&1 \| vim-javac-filter
... and that it transforms javac output correctly? For example, with
this file:
(contents of example-javac-error.txt:)
org/datagrok/application/Application.java:20: <identifier> expected
d
^
1 error
... you should see something like this when you run the filter:
(on the command line:)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/lib/java$ vim-javac-filter example-javac-error.txt
d
^
org/datagrok/application/Application.java:20: <identifier> expected
1 error
Also, are you doing anything else differently than I am? Calling javac
from a Makefile or an Ant script maybe? Anything that would change how
I expect the output to look?

No wizardry here; I use 'tee' to save a copy of the output before vim
gets ahold of it, then I 'watch cat' that temporary file.
Good luck and thanks for helping me improve this.
