Hmm ... It is a good request.

The IProject.build() or the IMakeTarget.build() will throw a CoreException
and the we can retrieve the IStatus from the core.  But we only throw
exception when something horrible happen, not for compile errors.  

One possible way to do this is to get the CMarkers on the project/folder,
since the error parsers will mark any pattern that they identify as a build
error.

Something like:

IWorkspace workspace = currProject.getWorkspace();

IMarker[] markers=
currProject.findMarkers(ICModelMarker.C_MODEL_PROBLEM_MARKER, true,
IResource.DEPTH_INFINITE);
if (markers != null && markers.length > 0) {
	// Huston, we got a problem
} else {
	// steady as she goes Mr. Data
}
