Showing errors in the Project tree
I looked in the tracker, but couldn't find a request. Has there been any talk about adding highlighting in the Project tree to show errors and/or file changes. This is one of the only features I like in Eclipse, and would love to see it in IDEA. It could even be a plugin (although I don't know the internal workings of IDEA enough to know how feasible this would be).
Does anyone know if there has been any talk of this? Have I overlooked a tracker issue? Should I post this to the tracker as a feature request, or to the wiki as a plugin idea?

Disappointing that this isn't "planned" yet.

This has long been discussed, but never committed to by JetBrains. To the best of my knowlege, there is no OpenAPI access to the Project view, so creating a plugin to do this would be impossible (short of creating an entirely new project view, which seems like overkill).

Thanks for the help. I threw in some more votes.
Its interesting that no one from Jetbrains has posted an opinion in the tracker conversation. I wonder if there is a technical limitation to doing this (the expense of processing might be high). I know keeping state for that information causes all kinds of problems in Eclipse.
