Results View

The Results view displays the messages generated as a result of user actions such as validations, transformations, search operations, and others. Each message is a link to the location related to the event that triggered the message. Double-clicking a message opens the file containing the location and positions the cursor at the location offset. The Results view is automatically opened when certain actions generate result messages. By default, the view normally opens at the bottom of the editor, but it is dockable, so it can be moved to another UI location alongside other side views.

The actions that contribute messages to this view include:

Results View Contextual Menu Actions

The following actions are available when the contextual menu is invoked in this view:

Learn Word(s) (Available when spelling errors are reported in the Results view)

Adds the word(s) to a list of learned words to instruct the spell checker engine to not report the word(s) as spelling errors in the future.

Apply all default quick fix proposals

This action is available for the tabs in the Results view that displays the problems reported after a single file or batch validation operation. In the first phase, the quick fix proposals associated with the presented validation errors are automatically identified and mapped to the corresponding document (if multiple quick fix proposals are available for the same validation error, only the first one is considered). Depending on the number of quick fixes to be applied, the next phase analyzes the impact of their application and may take some time (an operation progress tracker shows the status).

Once complete, a preview dialog box is presented that provides an overview of the content changes that will be made for each document. The comparison panel also informs you of any problems encountered. In addition, you can choose to exclude certain files from the set of files that the quick fixes will be applied to if you do not agree with the proposed changes to be made. If you do agree with the changes presented, click Apply to trigger the procedure of applying the quick fixes and updating the contents of the documents.

Important: Oxygen XML Author Eclipse plugin does not provide an automatic means for reverting changes made by this action so make sure you agree with the previewed changed for applying them.
