Hi,
there is outgoing effort at myfaces to improve error reporting and handling [1].
As part of [2] I want to create on-click navigation from myfaces error page to source file. There are two cases:
1) java code exception / stack trace
2) facelets location (line, column)
use case:
- myfaces produce error page with stack trace and location of source element as you can see at screenshot at [3]
- user clicks on the line of the stack trace output -> tools open the source file at relevant line
- user clicks on the source element ("location" words in the screenshot) -> tools open source facelet file at relevant line/column
Questions / for discussion:
- is this even doable in eclipse and its embedded browser view?
- what can jboss tools do for it?
- if it not possible to do it in embedded browse, there is still possibillity to do it from java console view ? Stack trace output is clickable already.
- format produced with myfaces can be changed according to jbtools needs
