Compile errors should be shown in the problems view and in the editor.
This may not occur is if your groovy scripts are not on the Java
build path. Is this the case?
There may be other reasons as well, but in my experience, this is the
most common cause of problems.

This problem occurs when there are syntax errors in the file,
preventing the Groovy parser from gathering any useful information
from the source code. Some parse errors can be handled by the groovy
parsers (such as dangling '.'), but others we still have trouble with
(eg- unclosed parens). You will need to ensure that all unhandled
parsing problems are fixed before performing organize imports.
The two problems might be related. However, organize imports will not
work in groovy files that are outside the build path, so you may be
seeing another problem manifesting itself. Can you possibly send over
a small, failing project that I can look at?
