Question

The compile error badges have stopped showing up on my source files but still display at the project level (see screen shot below). They used to show up for me, but since this morning, they’ve stopped displaying as they usually do. The exact compile error still shows in the Problems view, but there is no quick way to determine at a glance from the Package Explorer view.

I’ve looked through the Key Binding preferences trying to find a key binding that might toggle the display of the badges, but didn’t see anything. Likewise, the Java file type badging preferences don’t seem have have anything relevant either.

Anyone have an idea where the preference for showing/hiding the compile error badge might be located at?

Answer 1

I see a red ‘X’ at the topmost level – on “HealthInMotion”. So your package explorer has not stopped showing badges.

Could it be that there is a very severe error that is taking precedence over everything else?
Something with the buildpath perhaps?
Try thinking on those lines. Look in detail in the “Markers” pane. Perhaps something is listed there.

(And, as always, Do a Project --> clean, close and open eclipse 🙂

[Added]
Hey wait – your package com.digitalenginesoftware.healthinmotion is white in color. Its disabled, hidden or something like that?
Or, not part of build path (excluded?)
