See Also

The following table shows some of the annotation glyphs that can appear in the left margin of the Java Editor.

Glyph Description
error image The IDE's internal parser has detected an error in the line. You can place the mouse pointer over the glyph to display a tool tip with information on the error.
If you have multiple errors in a Java file that correctly compiles in other environments, you might have the filesystem mounted at the wrong directory.
override method image The method overrides a method from another class. Place your mouse pointer over the glyph to display a tool tip with name of the overridden method's class. This glyph only applies to Java classes.
implement method image The method implements a method from an interface or an abstract class. Place your mouse pointer over the glyph to display a tool tip with name of the implemented method's class. This glyph only applies to Java classes.
breakpoint image You have a debugging breakpoint set on that line. You can remove the breakpoint by clicking the glyph. You can set another breakpoint by clicking in the left margin next to the line where you want the breakpoint to appear.
multiple annotations image There are multiple annotation glyphs for that line. Click the glyph to cycle through the annotations.
