Description
I tried this as a discussion ( #4115), but no comments, and it's becoming quite a barrier, so I'm entering this issue here.
I have a Java project, which is built using gradle, and it is set up to auto-build (using eclipse.autoBuildTasks), so that when a file is saved, the gradle auto build will run. This compiles the project's client JavaScript/TypeScript code. The build all works fine (even though the use of eclipse.autoBuildTasks is undocumented in vscode-java). The problem is that I can find no way to view the output of the build; if it fails, it does so silently, and the first indication of a problem is when running the code.
I cannot find any config parameter that I am missing, but happy to be corrected here. Otherwise, is there an enhancement possibility to view the output of an auto-build?
thanks,
Stuart

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the Java project's Gradle auto-build through eclipse.autoBuildTasks and review the discussion in #4115, then trace how vscode-java exposes build output. Done means auto-build output is viewable and build failures are no longer silent.
