Small exclamation icon over my STS project icon

Question

I am working on Struts project using the Spring Source Toolsuite IDE.

When there are complier errors or something, a red X mark or yellow exclamation mark appear over the icon for my project.

But even after I made sure there are no complier errors, I got this exclamation mark in my project icon. My project is building and running successfully and I am getting the proper output.

Why is it there? How can I find out what it is complaining about?

Click Window -> Show View -> Problems and you'll see the list of errors/warnings and take it from there. — lobster1234, May 11 '11 at 05:08

In the version of eclipse I'm using "Problems" didn't show up in the list. I had to select "Other..." and do a search for Problems, which appeared under the General section. Thanks for the answer! – Steve Wall Jun 11 '13 at 15:06

As ptsw pointed out, too:
If the Problems item isn't visible in Window -> Show View menu, choose Other... instead and select Problems in the General group to view the Problems pane:
