Description eclipse CLA 2011-09-27 17:04:56 EDT 
Build Identifier: 20100917-0705

When I run a build, I get no indication whether the build succeeded unless I manually switch to the Problems window

Expected result:
The problems window gains focus
a) when any build detects new problems
b) when I manually trigger a build, whether or not any problems were detected

There should exist a preference checkbox to enable or disable this behavior, possibly a radio button or dropdown to choose between a), b), or neither.  See also https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=6783

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type random garbage in a file
2. Project | Build All

Dani I think I've seen an old bug about this topic. Do you remember such a discussion?

Since 3.7/4.1 the Problems view indicates any issue in its icon, even if the view is hidden in a stack or docked as fast view. I think this can be closed.

Yes, I suppose the decorator implemented by bug 170244 should satisfy most use cases.
