Re: [tasklist] compiler->buildmsg

Hi Tor,

it doesn't work currently. So I think Ant module doesn't use
CompilationEngine.
I don't know the Ant classes and whether it is possible to
get errors as objects but it would be possible to parse the output.

Anyway we need a public API for OutputTab replacement.

the API could be very simple:

public class ProcessMessage {
    CompileTask currently has following attributes:
    -severity
    -line
    -column
    -FileObject
    -priority??? (or maybe is severity enough?)
    -type??? (not used for "Build Errors")
    -summary
    -details
    -suggestions??? (or maybe SystemAction[] getActions())
    Annotation createAnnotation();
}

public class ProcessMessageView {
    public static ProcessMessageView create(String name);
    public void add(ProcessMessage msg);
    public void clear();
    public void setVisible(boolean v);
}

The only thing that is not clear to me now is whether the attributes of
ProcessMessage would satisfy all future needs.
