How to fix several Java errors on the same line? [message #157286]

I have Eclipse 3.1.2. I have turned off the "Report problems as you
type" option in Preferences->Java->Editor because I the default
behaviour annoying. That gives me a problem.

When there are errors in my Java code, Eclipse puts a lightnbulb in the
left column, and when I click on it I get advice on how to fix the
error. This is nice.

However, if there are two or more errors on the same line, I can only
get advice about one of them (Eclipse choose one for me).

How can I get advice on the other errors on the same line?

The only solution I have found is fix the first error, force rebuilding
by saving the file and then fix the other error. But it would be nice to
be able to fix all errors before saving/rebuilding.

Insisting on that behavior would probably mean Eclipse would have to
_entirely_ reparse the _entire_ file you have open after _every single
character_ you type. I think performance would go to pot if Eclipse
were configured to work that way.

Why would it mean that? I only want to be able to access all errors
Eclipse already have discovered. I can access then if they are on
different lines.

I just discovered that I can access all errors on a line if I break up
the line. But it's cumbersome.

Based on that, it sounds more like Eclipse may be reparsing lines after
it sees modifications on said line have "ended", by either a line break
or a save. What other trigger could Eclipse use to recognize that you
want it to reparse the line you're on? A 2-second pause in typing on
that line?

You mean a yellow bulb with a red cross, right? If you click on it, you
should get the option to choose which error to fix. If not, switch to a
newer Eclipse...

Yes.

I don't get that, it just jump to one of the errors (always the same).

I use version 3.1.2, and it seems to be the latest version.

I do not want it to rephrase anything.

I have now upgraded to 3.2RC7, and the problem remains.
