Kai

I think this sort of functionality would be great, particularly within
JDE. 

I'd make a couple of suggestions though;


First, I think you want to factor out the qfix code from the
refactoring functionality of which you already have some. The latter
will be useful in their own right. 

Second, I think you will need to make,
qfix-unreported-exception-regexp and similar variables into lists. I
use jikes to compile in general (because it gives error column info as
well as line), and I am sure others will use different compilers
still. 

Finally, I guess that you are on the CVS version of
emacs. next-error-last-buffer doesn't exist in mine. 

Cheers

Phil
