In Visual Studio with Resharper I can set the project to background build as I type. A red icon on the status bar appears the instance I code something wrong. Green if all is good. It does this by compiling all the time.
Is there a way to enable this in Eclipse?
That’s the default mode for Eclipse. Make sure the “Build Automatically” option is checked on the “Project” menu, and check the “Problems View” for any build errors and warnings.
