How to tell that a java project build in eclipse succeeded?

Using eclipse to build a java project, I hit the Build Project button, there is no discerneable feedback/output whatsoever?

How can I tell that a build, happend and succeeded? I have looked that in the filesystem the Project directory has indeed a /bin directories with compiled *.class files, so I now that something was build, but I look for a way to have eclipse give me that information.

How to configure eclipse to give output (i.e. to the console, status bar, if necessary message popupbox) about that some building happend.

As such you should get a popup window (shown in my last screenshot) showing the progress of your build, but in case if you are not getting then you can follow below steps to get "Progress" view of the Eclipse which shows progress of everything in the Eclipse.

And then build the project:

And you should get the progress information

As an aside: how to identify if Eclipse project has error? - If you project has build errors (it could be Java build problems, or JS or XML issues) then in the "Project Explorer" you will see a cross-mark-inside-red-square against that project, see a sample below:

Update: Another possibility to double check - make sure you are not running progress bars in the background, to verify that go to Window --> Preferences --> General and make sure "Always run in background" is NOT checked.
