JDK-4631331 - add option to javac, to set max number of errors before abort
Description

Name: skT88420			Date: 07/12/99


there is no way I can tell to make javac print more than 100
error messages.  This is dumb.  What if I want to compile *.java
and pipe all the errors to a file?  What if I want to compile
an old AWT application I'm converting to Swing and it has more
than 100 deprecated uses of AWT components.  Please make the 100
limit an option.

java version "1.3.0_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environmeht, Standard Edition
(build 1.3.0_01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0_01, mixed mode)

I would like to be able to specify a maximum number
of error messages from the compiler, so I can read
them all in my terminal window.

PUBLIC COMMENTS The new options -Xmaxerrors <em>number</em> and -Xmaxwarns <em>number</em> can be used to change the number of errors or warnings printed by the compiler before further diagnostics are suppressed. The default is, as before, 100.

EVALUATION Seems like a reasonable suggestion. william.maddox@Eng 1999-07-13 This will be addressed in mantis (1.4.2). For jonesw2 and others wondering how to redirect the output of the compiler, use option -Xstdout <filename> which was introduced in 1.4.0. ###@###.### 2002-06-13
