Can't Build Project

[spudly]

After setting up and configuring the plugin, I can't build my project. The build project progress bar sits at 50% and is stuck at "Building project...: Invoking External Problem Marker Builder' on '/trunk'".

Eclipse 4.2.0

Here's my config:

    <buildCommand>
        <!-- About this plugin: https://github.com/wrygiel/eclipse-external-problem-marker -->
        <name>net.rygielski.eclipse.problemmarker.builder</name>
        <arguments>
            <dictionary>
                <key>filter</key>
                <value>^.*\.(js|php|snip|json)$</value>
            </dictionary>
            <dictionary>
                <key>command</key>
                <value>cmd /c node C:\\Users\\sorenses.CHS\\workspace\\trunk\\_svn_hooks\\js\\validator.js "$1"</value>
            </dictionary>
            <dictionary>
                <key>output-match</key>
                <value>^(.*)$</value>
            </dictionary>
            <dictionary>
                <key>line-number</key>
                <value>1</value>
            </dictionary>
            <dictionary>
                <key>severity</key>
                <value>W</value>
            </dictionary>
            <dictionary>
                <key>message</key>
                <value>line: $1</value>
            </dictionary>
        </arguments>
    </buildCommand>

and here's some sample output from my script:

The build project progress bar sits at 50% and is stuck

Sorry, I have no idea why it does that for you. Note, that I do not have much experience in developing Eclipse plugins. My only guess would be that your project might be too big (I tried this plugin with ~300 files only). You could try viewing your Eclipse error log, maybe it would give us some more info.

I just had a similar issue. I won't have time to debug it though :( Updated the README about it.

Hello past coders!

I am from the future and I started looking at this project because I have developed my own similar one.

This problem might be caused by how output is read from the build process in Builder.getIssues. The program doesn't read the error stream until the output stream is finished. If the buffer on the error stream gets full then the build process hangs while trying to write to it. I think they added some new things to Process in Java 7 to make this easier.

wrygiel, it was very interesting to look at your project! Mine has more features, but your implementation is so much simpler, which is nice.

In my project I hook into the existing Program Builder, listening to such launches, and register listeners for output from that process.
