I considered writing a python script for that (reading the traceback
and using that to invoke vi on the correct file and line), as i did
for javac. I never got to do it, though. The problem is that python is
not a compiler that can be relatively sure where the error occurred.

Jumping into a file might be limited to syntax errors, though.
But with the syntax support in the editor there are relatively few
syntax errors left.

Good luck,
Ype
