> study of 56 students writing Java with Eclipse
I haven't read the paper, but I am going to guess that students learning the language and experienced developers want different things from error messages... and the current messages are tuned for latter, not for former.
I am sure that we can make error messages easier to read for beginners, but do we want to do this if this makes it harder for experienced programmers?
