Automatically activate 'problems' view when errors occur in compilation [message #334133]

My requirement: I want the problems view in Eclipse to pop up or to be
activated when there are compilation errors.

I've tried achieving this by setting it as a fast view, but this doesn't
give the desired result. I've looked at all the preferences for the view
itself and I've checked in Windows->Preferences, but can't see anything
there.

I've also searched around online and on the various Eclipse groups but
can't find an answer to this. It seems a common enough action to want to
perform.

Thanks in advance

Anyone?

This surely must be possible as other windows pop-up when activated, e.g.
the debug window, search, etc.

If you'd like to see it as a feature also, add a vote for it :)

By Automatically do you mean programmatically?

Activator.getDefault().getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWind ow()
getActivePage().showView("org.eclipse.ui.views.ProblemView") can show up
or activate the problem view.

I don't mean programatically, I mean to set it as an end user, such that
it is triggered on build errors. Thanks for the tip, it appears it's easy
enough to achieve in principle, depending on the logic behind building.
