subject [contrib #564] Incorrect error message formatting in Errors view
code
what happened
Error messages contain box symbols. Could be like incorrect end-of-line(?) symbols are used.
Noticed under WinXP-SP2, on the following message:
type mismatch; *box here* found   : Unit *box here* required: java.math.BigInteger
what expected - No end-of-line symbols on messages shown in Errors view - Using platform-independent line.separator property if needed

I'm not sure how to fix. Are the error messages being formatted with the appropriate platform end of line? The line feeds appear only under Linux and not Mac OS X or Windows in Eclipse. Also, it may be that only Linux tables support line feeds in cells. In that case we can't fix this. Note, when hover help (an HTML widget) works in the table, the line feeds are shown fine enough. Assigning to Martin to learn about how multi-line error messages are generated.
