Hi,
I have gone into my eclipse settings (Window -> Preferences -> General -> Workspace) and unchecked the option 'build automatically'. I would like to call the build function for a project from within code. Can this be done via the api?
Thank you

Yes, from org.eclipse.core.resources.IProject . There are precious few
circumstances where invoking the build from your own plug-in is
desirable, though.
