Abstract

A method and apparatus in a data processing system for processing errors during building of a program. A set of tools needed to build the program is identified. Each tool within the set of tools is called. Responsive to a tool within the set of tools generating output, a determination is then made as to whether an error is present in an output generated by the tool. Responsive to determining a presence of the error, a notification is automatically generated.
