How to set up jEdit for sbt build error highlighting?

I currently experimenting with different lightweight text editors for Scala development. jEdit seems to enable the user to make many tweaks. However, I'm currently having a problem with its error and warning highlighting via the Console plugin.

It marks some lines as errors without actually being them so. That's why I wanted to hear if anybody actually has a configuration of the sbt error patterns that they would share with me?

Solution

  • The following worked for me:

    Error: \[error\](\s)(\w):([\\|\w|.]*):(\d*):(\s)([\w*|(\s)|\W]*)

Warn: \[warn\](\s)(\w):([\\|\w|.]*):(\d*):(\s)([\w*|(\s)|\W]*)

Extra: 

Filename: $3

Line number: $4

Error message: $6
