This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Would like to see contrib/fisheye integrated into editor.errorstripe - try it to get an idea what it does (just install it and drag the mouse in the error annotation bar to see what it does). Simple, useful and rather sexy.
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue. Thanks for your cooperation, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
