Is there a way to list NetBeans editor hints?

Viewed 11003

Does NetBeans have a way to show all the editor hints (like missing braces, unused imports, etc.) for a project? Ideally, they would show up in the Task List, but the warning icons in the project view would be fine too.

Right now, the best I can do is to open each file and look at the color indicator next to the scrollbar.

Window --> Action Items will show you errors, warnings, and user-generated todo items.

I think you need to use the Tasks window.

To open the window, click menu WindowTasks.

You can choose to look at the tasks/hints/errors for the

  • file that you are currently editing
  • the main project (and the projects that it depends on)
  • all projects open in the IDE
