Ant Build in Eclipse [message #164871]

Can someone explain this: I have a project with an Ant script with a clean
target that removes two build directories. I also have 2 - 3 dozen
projects defined in Eclipse, some small some large.

When I run the ant script (just the clean target) through the Ant view the
Progress view reports what appears to be a full build of ALL projects!!!

I did reinstall the jdk in my machine (1.5 --> 1.4) earlier. Even if my
remaining projects need to be updated due to the change in JDK, why does
eclipse think that it needs to rebuild the entire world before running
such a minute task?

Shouldn't the remaining projects be updated on a as needed basis?

Thanks
Octavio

Do the other projects depend on the project whose output directory you are
cleaning?

Thanks for your reply. The answer to your question is no. This is a small
standalone project with no dependencies to other projects. The only
reason I have this project in Eclipse is to be able to use the Ant
facilities (editor, runtime, view, etc).

Is there - perhaps - a preference setting to disable this behavior?
