Selected Facts regarding OT/J and the OTDT

225 error messages (1.1.9)

The compiler supports 225 dedicated error or warning messages that precisely explain any problem that the compiler has identified in your sources. Each message refers to the paragraph in the OTJLD that is being violated by the problem at hand. The Problems view of the OTDT furthermore offers an option "Go To Language Definition" in its context menu for quickly navigating to this exact paragraph for further reference.
