package jdk.nashorn.api.tree;

Interface for diagnostics from tools. A diagnostic usually reports a problem at a specific position in a source file. However, not all diagnostics are associated with a position or a file.

A position is a zero-based character offset from the beginning of a file. Negative values (except NOPOS) are not valid positions.

Line and column numbers begin at 1. Negative values (except NOPOS) and 0 are not valid line or column numbers.

Line terminator is as defined in ECMAScript specification which is one of { \u000A, \u000B, \u2028, \u2029 }.

Deprecated:Nashorn JavaScript script engine and APIs, and the jjs tool are deprecated with the intent to remove them in a future release.
Since:9

Kinds of diagnostics, for example, error or warning. The kind of a diagnostic can be used to determine how the diagnostic should be presented to the user. For example, errors might be colored red or prefixed with the word "Error", while warnings might be colored yellow or prefixed with the word "Warning". There is no requirement that the Kind should imply any inherent semantic meaning to the message of the diagnostic: for example, a tool might provide an option to report all warnings as errors.
