no error window when compiling plugins

[jvander]

When I compile ImageJ plugins for my old Mac system (OS 10.6.8, ImageJ 1.49v, Java 1.6.0_65) I get a window titled "Errors" when I have a syntax error in my java code.  The window identifies the offending line and attempts to identify the nature of the error.

With my new system (OS 10.10.5, ImageJ 1.50a, Java 1.8.0_60 (64-bit)) I never get an error window.  It just does not compile.  If I fix the error, it compiles just fine.  But errors are not identified.  

So I am debugging in the dark.  Presently, I do all my development on the old system and then transfer the result over to the new, but this is not a very practical solution - especially as my old hard drive is making scary noises!

Please advise.

thanks,

Joe v.

I have this error too. When I load IJ with Java 6 or 8 I don't get any debugging info with plugins that fail to compile. However, with Java 7 (which has other issues) the debugging does work... I remember finding a fix to this ages ago but have now forgotten it and googling didn't help.

The latest ImageJ daily build (1.50g4) fixes a bug that caused the "Compile and Run" command to fail on Java 8 when compiling plugins with errors.
