I have project contains three files

Building the project completed successfully.

I need to rebuild group of them again, as an exmple i need to build (b.dsl and c.dsl) again, without any change in them

How to perform such task?
Thanks

If you are under Eclipse, you may try "Clean..." from the Pulldown Menu "Project "

I have introduced new item in popup menu of any file in project explorer, this menu item name is "rebuild".
So all what i need is to rebuild the selected files again, even if there is no change in them

hi i would do this on a different level
have a look at the javadoc of org.eclipse.core.resources.IResource.touch(IProgressMonitor)

AFAIK, the "Clean..." will cause a rebuild of all generated files

Hi Christian, I think your solution is great but the problem will not be fixed completely as i have another option in the menu which could exclude any file from the build.
I mean that i have another menu item to exclude any file from the design, so after clicking on this menu item xtextbuilder should be invoked and this file should appear in toBeBuilt variable in incremental build method in xtextbuilder to be removed, as if i am removing the file completely from the project but i am not.

Hi Uli Merkel, clean the project will be the wrong solution specially with big designs, can we clean only the selected files ?

In Lorenzo Bettinis famous book near the end of chapter 7, there is something about unit-testing eclipse functionality like opening editors etc.
Perhaps this may give you some hint how you con start re-generation for some DSL files.

And at the very end of chapter 5, there are some instructions how to get a "standalone command-line compiler" which takes the DSL file path as an argument for the generator.
So it's just a one-liner in a batch command file

I think i dont need new build because removing file from project invoke incremental build, right?
I need to perform an action similar to the one performed by removing a file from a project.
Because clean build will be so expensive

Used to remove data model of this file from the design and invalidate links referring to this file , because of different reasons (Because its big design as an example and i want to exclude it)

But i should be able to add or remove it while project is up and running

What about using Ifile.touch in combination with a resource marker that prevents the file being indexed in defaulteesourcedescriptionstrategy

What about just removing the file to get the party started?
