How to view the list of compile errors in IntelliJ

Question

I am looking for a way to view all compile errors in IntelliJ  similar to how they are displayed in Eclipse   I tried searching here and Google but have not really found a solution   I really like IntelliJ  I recently converted to it from Eclipse  and I hope this is just something I am missing and not a fundamental deficiency

I think this comes closest to what you wish    From IntelliJ IDEA Q amp A for Eclipse Users      The above can be combined with a recently introduced option in Compiler settings to get a view very similar to that of Eclipse   Things to do    Switch to  Problems  view in the Project pane     Enable the setting to compile the project automatically      Finally  look at the Problems view       Here is a comparison of what the same project  with a compilation error  looks like in Intellij IDEA 13 xx and Eclipse Kepler        Relevant Links  The maven project shown above   https   github com ajorpheus CompileTimeErrors FAQ For  Eclipse Mode     Automatically Compile  a project   http   devnet jetbrains com docs DOC-1122

A more up to date answer for anyone else who comes across this   from https   www jetbrains com help idea eclipse html    Auto-compilation  click for screenshots  Compile automatically   To enable automatic compilation  navigate to Settings Preferences   Build  Execution  Deployment   Compiler and select the Build project automatically option  Show all errors in one place   The Problems tool window appears if the Make project automatically option is enabled in the Compiler settings  It shows a list of problems that were detected on project compilation   Use the Eclipse compiler  This is actually bundled in IntelliJ  It gives much more useful error messages  in my opinion  and  according to this blog  it s much faster since it was designed to run in the background of an IDE and uses incremental compilation   While Eclipse uses its own compiler  IntelliJ IDEA uses the javac compiler bundled with the project JDK  If you must use the Eclipse compiler  navigate to Settings Preferences   Build  Execution  Deployment   Compiler   Java Compiler and select it    The biggest difference between the Eclipse and javac compilers is that the Eclipse compiler is more tolerant to errors  and sometimes lets you run code that doesn t compile
