Tasks view
The Tasks view displays the following information:
System-generated errors, warnings, or information associated with a resource. These are typically produced by builders. For example, if you save a Java source file that contains syntax errors, the errors will automatically be logged in this view.
Build problems are displayed in the Tasks view and annotated in the vertical ruler of your source code. You can hover over the problem marker in the vertical ruler to view a description of the problem. Or open the Tasks view and read the corresponding error message.
Tasks that you add manually. You can associate a task with a resource in the Workbench, but this is not required.
By default, the Tasks view is included in the Resources perspective. To add it to the current perspective, click Window > Show View > Other > Basic > Tasks.
The first column displays an icon that denotes the type of line item, as shown in the following table:
