Hi,
Regardless of whether I am in the Debug perspective or Java Browsing
perspective or a Java Package perspective the Problems view shows no
errors, warnings, or information even though I get warning indicators in
the edit window of my source code. How do I get these warnings and
other errors listed in the Problems view?
I removed all filters and so I don't think I'm filtering anything out now.
Thanks,
John

If you're still not seeing anything after a build, but there are errors
shown in the editor, there would seem to be a couple of possibilities.
1. Some sort of error is preventing the build from succeeding. Check the
error log, with View -> PDE Runtime -> Error Log (or just look in the .log
file in the .metadata directory) to see if there are any errors. It's
possible that some third-party plug-in has installed a builder that is not
working, for instance.
2. You have some sort of filter in place. You said you cleared them all, so
I'm not sure why that would be.
Do you still get this problem if you start with a fresh workspace, create a
new Java project, and create a new Java class within it, intentionally
containing an error?
Do you have any third-party plug-ins installed? What build of Eclipse are
you using, what platform are you running on?

I've never installed any third-party plug-ins. I am running on version
3.2.1 Build M20060921-0945 on Windows XP. Now I enabled automatic
updates and I do see a problem whereby the update called "Eclipse
Project SDK 3.2.1.r321_v20060801-tQ1w49KnTArT0FZ" tries to install and
goes through the motion and then every restart of Eclipse it tries to
install the update again as if it wasn't updated before.
The PDE Runtime error logs show errors in the org.eclipse.update.core
and the org.eclipse.debug.core. With the latter error, I do notice that
even though I had previously defined an external tool Ant build
configuration, I can't recall the one that I had already defined (the
list is empty). Yet when I try to define a new one with the same name
it says a configuration with that name exists already. So it's like
it's there but Eclipse doesn't show it to me for me to use.
I did build a new workspace with a very simple class inside and if I
intentionally create an error or warning condition in there, it does
work and it does show up in the Problems view. So I don't know what is
going on with the original workspace I've got my project in.
With org.eclipse.update.core the error is:
"eclipse.buildId=M20060921-0945

It's a subtle thing, and you're not the first person to have missed it.
When you are in the CVS Repository perspective and select a module to
check out, there are two choices, "Check Out" and "Check Out As..." The
first one, that you obviously chose, checks out to a plain (non-Java)
project. This is a reasonable behavior, since Eclipse is not only a Java
tool and it has no way of knowing that what you are checking out is Java.
If you choose Check Out As... then it will prompt you for the type of
project to create (or an existing project to use). At that point you
have the opportunity to make it a Java Project.
Also note that if there is a .project file in the CVS repository,
Eclipse will respect it. So once you have your project set up correctly,
checking in the .project and .classpath files is highly recommended.
As I said, you are not the first person to miss that option. There are
some Bugzilla reports about it, but I think the issue is coming up with
a UI that does not tie the CVS client to Java.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the pointers Eric. I'll add my suggestions to the bug
record. The Check Out As step is what I was looking for. But that part
of the workflow still needs improvement. Basically, Check Out As should
be a default (offered) step in my opinion. The problem is that when you
are asked what modules to checkout from the CVS, most people would enter
in the module name and then press ENTER. But it's the Finish button and
not the Next button that is in focus at that point. So Eclipse goes
ahead and does the checkout and ends it there, and users will think that
was the last step and they wouldn't have even seen the option to Check
Out As or the subsequent Project Wizard. The Finish button should never
be in focus by default until it's reached the last possible
configuration page. A simple UI change like this will save hours of
frustration for new users and lessen the stigma that Eclipse is
difficult to configure.
Cheers,
John

What's the net result of those steps? That, what can I check in my .project
file (etc.) to see if I'm set up correctly (and modify to get set up correctly,
without having to "re-install" my project).
I'm have a similar problem:
Errors do not show up in the Problem viewer, even though warnings do (or seem
to; I'm not sure they're refreshing as I first thought). I've had auto-build
turned on; I refreshed several times; I exited and re-started Eclipse (I think);
I checked and double-checked the Problems viewer's Configure Contents settings.
Finally, I tried "Build All," and my errors showed up in the problem list.
Why does Eclipse apparently not automatically re-build when Auto-build is turned
on? Why doesn't Eclipsse update the Problems list?
Is it a performance issue? Since changing a declaration in one place can cause
errors (e.g., "unknown method") in far-away places, I could imagine that Eclipse
doesn't try to keep the errors list updated because it would take a while to
re-build enough to be sure to compile all possible "far-away places" and
discover the errors (or errors' going away).

Separately, how about a change to the Problems viewer user interface?:
If the problem list is out of date because probject files have been changed but
the project hasn't been completely re-build yet, how about having a warning in
the Problems list to that effect and informing the user that re-building
will update the list (or at least hinting to that effect)? That might save
others the couple hours it took me to figure out the problem.

If you have Build Automatically enabled, then Build All wouldn't be
enabled. When Build Automatically is enabled, the Problems view *is*
kept up-to-date; everything is built whenever a source file is saved or
touched.
BTW, that has nothing to do with my comments that are quoted above; I
think that discussion ended up being related to the fact that the user
had checked out a project from CVS but not made it a Java project. In
your case, since you can build the project and get error markers, it is
obviously a Java project.

Never mind. Auto-build actually wasn't still on.
