I'm wondering if it is possible to configure IntelliJ Idea to immediately show compile errors on the class files in the project tree. Currently I need to manually trigger the recompilation to see error marks on my classes if the cannot be compiled.
A:
You might try the Eclipse Mode plugin for IntelliJ. It allows you to do incremental compile upon saving a file:

I tried that, but as many pointed out it does steal the focus and does not provide the asked feature (e.g. it does not mark the errors in the project tree). I would love to have this feature too, its one of the very things i miss after i switched from eclipse

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.
