eclipsejava
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?
Try restoring the default options in 'Windows > Preferences > Java > Editor > Content Assist > Advanced'
An example of the kind of data you see in this preference screen, however not necessarily what you currently have.
(From Vadim in this blog post " Content Assist Duplicates in Eclipse (Mylyn)":
if have duplicate Mylyn entries, uncheck the duplicate entries that do not contain "(Mylyn)" in their name)
The Eclipse help page defines the default list to restore:
Select the proposal kinds contained in the 'default' content assist list:
- Other Java Proposals,
- SWT Template Proposals,
- Template Proposals,
- Type Proposals
Eclipse is defaulting to Java 1.5 and you have classes implementing interface methods (which in Java 1.6 can be annotated with @Override, but in Java 1.5 can only be applied to methods overriding a superclass method).
Go to your project/IDE preferences and set the Java compiler level to 1.6 and also make sure you select JRE 1.6 to execute your program from Eclipse.

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.
