Intellij autobuild - non existent

If I remove a method, the error (elsewhere in code due to no method existing) is not displayed until I manually build project. There is no way to get this to autobuild on save/change ?

Is there an option I am missing somewhere ?

You may try IDEA 12 EAP, it supports background compilation. See http://blogs.jetbrains.com/idea/2012/06/brand-new-compiler-mode-in-intellij-idea-12-leda/ for more details.

Yes there is, the Eclipse Mode plugin. It lets you always compile in the background, like Eclipse does. Works like a charm.

Apart from that: in IntelliJ, don't just delete a method manually, use Refactor > Safe Delete .... It will walk you through all places in your code where the method is used. That's the IntelliJ way to do it.
