I'm currently trying to configure Syntastic for Java programming. I set my global mode to be 'active'. However, upon saving the checker is not running. I ran the SyntasticInfo command and was told that

java filetype is passive

I read the documentation and edited my vimrc file as needed by adding on:

 let g:syntastic_mode_map = {
 "mode": "active",
 "active_filetypes": ["java"],
 "passive_filetypes": []}

However, when I tried saving my file after this change there is no difference. The checker is still not running when I save my file SyntasticInfo is still stating that

java filetype is passive.

I was wondering how to change java to an active file type if the above method is not working.

Exit out of the Vim instance that is editing your `.java` file, then start Vim up with the same file and see if the changes have taken effect. – Micah Elliott Sep 17 '15 at 23:32
By any chance do you happen to have Eclim installed? – Sato Katsura Sep 18 '15 at 05:41
@MicahElliott I did that, and unfortunately java is still passive. – user5348116 Sep 20 '15 at 23:33
@SatoKatsura I do have Eclim installed. – user5348116 Sep 20 '15 at 23:33

Eclim helpfully disables syntastic checkers. Recent versions of syntastic warn you when they detect that situation. Read Eclim's manual to find out how to tell Eclim to re-enable syntastic checkers. – Sato Katsura Sep 22 '15 at 05:13
