hi all,

Is there a way to determine the modified resources to pass as a
parameter to an ant based external tools builder?

eg: when a when a file changes autolaunch an ant build that generates
code from xdoclet for only the changed resource.

I know this could be done hooking into the eclipse framework etc. but it
seems to be a lot of work for a simple requirement.

thanks
Oz

3.0 feature:
You could set up an external tool builder that would only build for a
specified working set of changed resources.
Then within your Ant build file you could work with Uptodate to only
generate for the changed resource(s).
Even without the 3.0 feature, you can use the Uptodate task.
