Re: Java Compile Bug - 'Cannot resolve symbol'

In XCode 2.2 The 'Cannot resolve symbol' error message doesn't give the name of the symbol it can't resolve. This is *incredibly* annoying and was not an issue in 2.1.

Don't suppose there's a way to fix this or an update in the pipeline?

There's always an update in the pipeline, but bugs only get fixed in it if somebody files a bug report with detailed information about the setup, a copy and paste of the error message in context. and steps to reproduce it.  Starting with...what  "Cannot resolve symbol" error message? During editing, compiling, linking, launching, debugging, etc.?  

Hi Chris,

I get the error when compiling.

It's very easy to reproduce. Just set up a new java project, I used the 'java tool' template. Adjust the code so there's an undefined symbol and compile (see below)

Is there a feedback page for XCode to submit bug reports?
