automatic build disabled? [message #115722] Tue, 11 November 2003 11:06 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hi all,
hopefully just a short question: So far eclipse always did a build
when I saved an edited file, i.e. I always used to do just a Control-S
to save the file and then I could start the newly-built program (which
I did using an external batch file (i.e. not using the eclipse Run
command)).

But today - for some strange reason - eclipse suddenly does not do
these automatic builds any more and I always have to select the
project first and then go via the menu Project => Build to trigger a
build, which I find tedious.

I am not aware of having modified anything with respect to that
behavior and I didn't find any config option to change this either.
So, what could cause Eclipse to suddenly not do these automatic
rebuilds any more? Is there some preference setting somewhere to
switch this automatic (re-)build on/off that I might accidentally have
flipped?

This is on Eclipse 3.0 (M4) from Oct. 10th, 2003 running on Windows
2000 (SP4)

Michael,

The setting I'm aware of is in


Window > Preferences > Workbench > Perform build automatically on resource
modification

For some reason, the autobuild preference seems to be turned off
occasionaly. Go to Window->Preferences, Workbench, "Perform build
automatically upon resource modification".

Hi you both!
Thanks - that helped.

Stupid me - that's the VERY FIRST option on the VERY FIRST top level
preference tab, but somehow I had always overlooked that one and had
delved into the Build-Order, Java- and Run/Debug tabs instead
searching for a corresponding option...

From Tom's comments I conclude, that this occasional option-reset it a
known bug and that there is no need to submit that again...
