Hi All,

Not sure if this the right place to ask. But, I was looking at the implementation of EclipseResourceFileSystemAccess2.generateFile() and I noticed that calling the afterFileUpdate() on the callback is always called and not only when hasContentsChanged() is there a reason for this?


thanks,

Ronald

It's used to keep track of files that will be regenerated, or in other
words: The callback helps to get rid of stale, generated files. Why are
you asking?

Hi

I was just wondering if this could cause unnecessary building.

(From the top of my head, don't have the code here)
I think the implementation of afterFileUpdate() calls
context.needRebuild(). I would expect that that is not necessary when no
changes were made.
But as I understand your answer it serves to keep the generated files
list in sync also.


Thanks,

Ronald

BTW. your answer did not show up in the forum. But I think that is a
known issue.
