Second, if you're new to development, it's important to understand that errors don't always appear on the cor-
rect line of code. For example, if you remove or comment out the closing curly bracket from a method defini-
tion, you create a cascade of errors in the rest of the file, but the missing bracket isn't flagged correctly. Some er-
rors require experience and guesswork. Problems in code can often create multiple errors at the same location.
Finally, there are many different possible warning messages, and you can select the ones you want to see. In the
Project Navigator, select the project, and then select Build Settings. Select All under it, and scroll down to show
the Warnings panel, as shown in Figure 4.12. Many of these options assume intermediate or expert level experi-
ence, so it's best to leave them unchanged unless you know what they're for. As you gain experience, you can
start to use this feature to choose the warnings you want to see.
FIGURE 4.12
You can enable or disable each warning message generated by the compiler. You also can disable all warnings,
which is usually a bad thing to do.
