If someone does not know a better error format for javac, I just discoved that :set shellpipe= will open DOS window with all the spaces preserved.Vim is a text editor used in Linux operating systems that help create and update different text files with different extensions. I have tried all kinds of different formats. Problem: it removes spaces so the caret that javac uses to point to the error location is wrong. (I have another command to reset the command line height when I'm done looking at errors.) Alt-2 and Alt-3 move the cursor in the source code to previous and next errors. Noremap :w:set ch=5:make -d C:\\dev\\classes %:p It can be improved, but I am not sure how. I guess I should say what works for me for compiling Java programs on MS Windows.

Pressing Enter on any error line in the error window will take the cursor to the corresponding source line. Current error line will be highlighted and cursor will move to the corresponding source file line. You get one split window, in which errors are listed. To make, type :make as we do in older versions of vim ( In vim6.x, I found out that :cw will boost my productivity as a programmer. Until vim 5.8, I was using the cfile, clist etc for quickfix mode.
