Eclipse plugin, custom errors

[X-ion]

Hello all,

What i want is to make my own custom problems, get them detected by the compiler and show them in the problems view. Now the custom errors can be anything like a annotation placed on a setter while it only works on a getter, the compiler says its ok, runtime = error.

I somehow need the compiler to check for these custom errors, thing is i dont know how to:

a: Create the general errors (Thats in setting the message and stuff, the icon).

b: How to analyze the code finding the errors and fill in things like line number, filename and stuff.

Does anybody have a simple example of how to do this?

About (a): What i did find out is that i probably need the compilationParticipant reconcile function, that means i also need a reconcileContext in which i can put my problems, which are CategorizedProblems and implement the IProblem interface. So far so good.

About (b): What i dont know is how to get the compiler to find the error in the code and generate the IProblem (what i said, linenumber, sourcefile and on). I've found out about Markers, but i dont know if that will work just fine? I dont quite get the link yet. So can anybody help me?

Greetz and thanks in advance.

What language is the code written in?
e.g if it's in Java then you can instantiate a compiler and pass it the code.
It will give you the error messages.

Hello R0,

Yes its in java, problem is, i wanna generate custom errors, so i want to put markers where the compiler finds a problem, but this problem should be a custom problem, so not one of the standard IProblems...

Any way to do that? Like search for a pattern in files (Compiler should do this but i dunno how), and add a marker?

The way im trying to fix it now, is by making my own builder, add a nature and markers when i find something, this isnt working yet, but im close i think :)

Anyway if you have a suggestion lemme know.

Thanks
