Re: [ui-best-practices-working-group] Question regarding error notificat

Hi, Eitan.
I believe the guideline is out of date.

Prior to Eclipse 3.0, problems indeed appeared in the tasks view. Starting with Eclipse 3.0, markers with a marker type of problem moved to the problems view. [1].
In Eclipse 3.4, a generic markers view was introduced for those who preferred the old style. [2].

From a guideline point of view, it probably makes sense to change this to say "Problems view." From an implementation point of view, it's best to mark the resource with a problem marker, knowing it will show up in whichever view the user chooses.

Hi guys,
I came across this guideline:
 
Guideline 6.29 
Use the Task view to show errors found when the Save command is invoked.
http://wiki.eclipse.org/User_Interface_Guidelines#Error_Notification
 
Is this a mistake? Shouldn’t we use the Problems view for error notification instead of the Task view?
 
Best Regards,
Eitan_______________________________________________
