My problem is with the "error" notification in Eclipse. I am using Eclipse for Java Developers (Galileo- build: 20090920-1017), and primarily developing Android projects (Android Development Tools 0.9.7.v201005071157-36220), although my problem occurs with non-android Java projects as well.

Everything used to work "fine" (and I don't remember making any changes to explain the new behavior): red error markers used to showed up highlighting the problem code "in-line", show up in the file margin, show up in the tab displaying the open file, show up in "package explorer" by the file name, and finally the entire project would show up with a red error marker.

Now, the only error markers I get, are the errors highlighting the problematic code "in-line", and in the file margin. There is no error demarcated in the tab displaying the open file, or more importantly in the package explorer. [This is why this problem is frustrating because the only way I can find my errors is to open and peruse every file...] Even the project name in the package explorer no longer is indicated as having an error.

I have found a few references to this problem, and the fix usually entails turning on the "Build Automatically" option (which I have done), making sure the "java Builder" is on the list of Builders (which it is), and repeatedly clean&build project and/or close/open Eclipse.

Any help appreciated.

Thnx, Jim

Make sure that your files are on the Java build path of the project.

This gives me a list of all errors (and warnings) occurring in all projects in my workspace. It does appear to include some of the "occult" errors I was looking for and which I was hoping to find via the package explorer. So maybe I can use this to track down those pesky errors if I can't get the package explorer to work...

thanks!!

All of the files are on the build path under:
Project>Properties>Java Build Path> Source> <project>/src> "Included: All"

I had this problem. Create class, click next, remove the check next to create module, then click finish.
