Question

Compilation failed; see the compiler error output for details.

Answer 1

One trying to build a project with an idea 10 and get a compile error but I don't see the actual error.

How do I make ANT verbose?

All I see is:

Compile failed; see the compiler error output for details.

My task looks like this:

<javac includeantruntime="false"  

destdir="${webapp.classes.dir}"  

debug="true">

           <src path="${src.dir}"/>

           <classpath refid="project.classpath"/>

       </javac>

Answer 2

Compilation failed means that the program is unable to compile due to some reason.

There might be errors in the code to be compiled that has to be debugged in order to compile the program.

The compiler error output displays the reason for the failure of compilation of the program.

It also provides details about the errors.

The program must be debugged in order to compile successfully.
