Is there any way to get Jenkins to tell me about actual compile errors instead of just failing with an anonymous error?

Today I've been iterating on changes in a shared library, and I find it very frustrating that trivial compile errors in the library source just result in "ErrorCollector" stacktraces, with no useful information.  For instance, I had some iterations that failed because I was missing an import statement for a class I was referencing.  I simply added the import for the missing class, and the error went away.  However, I had to realize what class I was missing the import for.  I've managed to get Eclipse to tell me when I have basic Groovy syntax errors, but it doesn't tell me if I'm missing an import for a referenced class.
