This document is a guide to help troubleshoot problems that might arise with applications that are developed using the Sun Microsystems Inc. release of Java Platform, Standard Edition 6 (JDK 6 release or Java SE 6 release). In particular, this guide addresses possible problems between the applications and the Java HotSpot virtual machine. The document provides a description of the tools, command line options, and other help in analyzing a problem. The document also provides guidance on how to approach some general issues such as a crash, hang, or memory resource issues. Finally, the document provides direction for data collection and bug report preparation.
This wiki is for sharing information about syntax errors in Java. It is probably going to start somewhat slowly, but I'm okay with that. This page is the starting point for the content. See the Community portal for information about how you can contribute, about the project, and about our community.
Note that, until other people start using this wiki, the syntax errors will reflect Eclipse usage. That's because I (Ducky Sherwood) use Eclipse. I'd be delighted for others to help me make it more inclusive.
I don't mind at all if the list below gets extremely long. I expect that people will find this site by plugging their error message into a search engine -- which should take them to the error discussion before bringing them to this page. The main purpose of this page is thus to tell search engines where pages are; letting humans read it is secondary in importance.
