Eclipse Problems View not showing Errors anymore

For some reason Eclipse is no longer showing me Java compilation Errors in the Problems View.

It is still showing Warnings.

This has suddenly happened and I cannot think of anything that I have changed which would affect this.

I am using the "Maven Integration for Eclipse" plugin but I have been for some time - not sure if this could have affected it or not.

Any ideas?


I had same problem and randomly did such things as (several times):

1) Project->Clean...,
2) close and open Eclipse again,
3) Run As...

And it started to work again, without changing configuration.


Right-click your project and go to Properties > Java Build Path > Source.

Make sure your source directory (for example MyProject/src) is listed as a Source folder. Otherwise you won't get any red markers.


I want to post my story here if Google brings you to this question.

Somehow, "Project->Build Automatically" got turned off.

Turning it back on produces correct errors list.

In my case it has nothing to do with m2e 1.0. This is default behavior for any Java project and goes back as far as Ganymede ( at the point of writing this post I am running Indigo )


This is not totally an answer to your question, but is related. I thought eclipse stopped showing red/yellow flags next to files in my project. The solution was very simple - I was looking at the Navigator tab (which doesn't show error/warning flags) instead of the Package Explorer tab.
