How to display eclipse annotations (Preferences>General>Editors>Text Editors>Annotations) in the "Problems/Errors/Markers" view?

When editing an html file, eclipse display useful annotations on the right margin, like "Invalid tag location" or "unknown tag", but it will be useful to see them with in any tab like "Problems", "Markers" or "Errors" without have to open each html file and put the mouse on the annotation to see the description.

There is any option to do that ? I understand that all annotations are not in the Problems view, but problems annotations should be there, no ?

Annotations are how problems are indicated in the editors, while Markers are how they are indicated on files using the Problems/Markers views and decorators in the various explorer views. Problem Markers are usually created by builders, and in this case the Validation Builder--so is that a Builder on your project, and are you letting builds happen?

Alternatively, you can try the Validate context menu item on the file, but you'll have to rerun it to see if you've corrected any problems.
