You can also configure highlighting from inspection settings: go to Editor | Inspections, click any enabled inspection, and from the Highlighting in editor list, select Edit Highlighting.
Run/Debug Configurations -> Your Application -> Configuration -> Before launch: Build, Activate tool window -> remove the "Build" line with the Minus symbol. That works! :) Thank You Vic!
Most frequent Compile-Time errors are: Missing Parenthesis (}) Printing the value of variable without declaring it. Missing semicolon (terminator)
As of IntelliJ 12 there's an option to automatically build your project upon source changes. In "Settings" --> Build, Execution, Deployment --> "Compiler" check the checkbox "Build project automatically". This will immediately show any compile errors in the project tree.
I did some further searches in the web about this feature. At the end it seems that exactly this feature is not available. There are some discussions about this topic where also some (in my point of view) workarounds are mentioned. The most helpful discussion I found here.
You can access all the compile problems like so:
You'll see a tree of files and problems. Also, on the bottom toolbar, you should see a tab called "Problems" which lists everything as well. It's not as easy to use as the Eclipse "Problems" view, but it's close.
I'm on version 12.1.4, not sure what version this feature first came in, though.
