Eclipse compile-on-save option

I've been using eclipse for about a couple of months (wouldn't use another IDE!) now, but navigating to and finding the preference setting you want, is still intimidating.
How do I set eclipse to compile everytime I save a file AND to display errors and warnings in the 'Tasks' window.
It flags syntax errors by a red underline in the main editor window but does not report the error in the 'Tasks' pane?
What option have I not set right?

Compiling is done automatically when you save. As to the errors, you may want to check your filters setting. It's the toolbar icon with three arrows in the upper right corner of the Tasks pane.
