Compiling package from file messages

Question

When compiling a package stored in a file a get the message:
Warning: execution completed with warning
PACKAGE BODY maintain_catalogs_pkg Compiled.
But when I open the package itself and compile it, the compiler gives errors in the package. So the two don't correspond.

Answer 1

An alternative is what you would have done for a SQL script creating a package in SQL*Plus (which is possibly why the current behaviour is intended) - that is to have the "SHOW ERRORS PACKAGE [BODY] <PACKAGE>" command after the creation of the package / package body.
Note that this command only works when run as a script command and not as a statement. Also, "SHOW ERRORS VIEW <VIEW>" will always report no errors, even if the same statement would report errors in SQL*Plus.
Presumably at some point, the SQL Developer team will revisit the "Awaiting Community Votes" requests like this one which have received a lot of votes with a high score.
