Error Marking Improvement in 6.0

In 5.5, I get a red error marking along the whole line, because of a missing import statement:

In 6.0, only the class that is problematic is underlined (plus it is shown in italics):

This means I can see in one glance exactly where the problem is, before even invoking the lightbulb, which was not possible in 5.5. The NetBeans API class Line.Part, discussed here, makes this possible. Very nice!

In other news. Made a start with the Errata for the book "Rich Client Programming: Plugging into the NetBeans Platform". Click here to see them. If you encounter 'errata worthy' issues in the book, write to dev@openide.netbeans.org, where the issue will be discussed before being 'promoted' to the Errata.
