I have a feeling I’m the only one that would agree I’ve found a bug, and it should be easy enough for me to fix for myself if I could get gradle itself into eclipse.

I use emacs for most of my development. The first compiler error in output of ‘gradle compileJava’ needs a newline between “:compileJava” and the file:linenumber

:compileJava/p/src/main/java/jpsgcs/pipe/SGSDistributer.java:378: error: ‘;’ expected

int currentRun = getRunsLeft()

Subsequent errors all start on a newline

I’ve seen the same problem for the :javadoc task
