The plugin doesn't utilize some tooling-centric information available in freemarker.core.ParseException, most importantly, the column number that Eclipse could utilize to jump at the error start inside the line. The information that's not used is (see plugins/org.jboss.ide.eclipse.freemarker/src/org/jboss/ide/eclipse/freemarker/editor/Editor.java):

• getColumnNumber(), getEndColumnNumber()
• getEndLineNumber()
• getEditorMessage(): This should be used instead of getMessage() (though apparently the output of `getMessage()` is identical, it's actually because FM detects that it was called from JBoss Tools and then creates a message customized for that).
