1. Automatic build

The build of ESL relies on Eclipse build system. By default, the automatic build is activated. You can check your setting via the menu Project->Build Automatically.

When the build meets some problems, the output is analyzed and errors/warnings markers will be created automically in the "Problem view" on the bottom of Eclipse IDE. Afterwards, you can select the markers for problem shooting.
