This is javac.

If you have a statement like this:

    Calendar c = null;

you only get a single unknown error.

But if you have a statement like this:

    Calendar c = new Calendar();

you get TWO errors complaining that Calendar is an unknown symbol.
For each error, the suggestions view will attempt to find a fix.

We -could- suppress successive identical errors - is that what your
enhancement request is all about?

But of course if I have a statement like this:

    Calendar c = null; Date d = null; c = new Calendar();

I will again get two errors on calendar - but a Date error in
the middle. In this case, removing the duplicates seem like a bad
idea since they're really referring to different statements.
Given javac error output, I can't tell this case apart from the 
earlier example.
