Do you have a reason that you need all the compiler settings combined into one error format? For example, does your make process run multiple different compilers in one build, or do you concatenate all your compiles into one log to use with :cfile?

If not, then you probably are better off only ever setting the errorformat for the compiler you're using. I think that's the intended operation.

In fact, Vim provides the capability to write a "compiler plugin" (:help write-compiler-plugin) to set up errorformat, makeprg, etc. for a single compiler using one :compiler command. That's probably what you ought to be using.

In fact, there is already a javac compiler plugin distributed with Vim. Try it out with ":compiler javac" or take a look at it's settings in $VIMRUNTIME/compiler/javac.vim. I don't see a clang compiler plugin, however.
