Hello --
Eclipse v3.1, JDK 1.4.2_08
While working within a Java workspace that may have multiple projects
open, I like using the 'Build project' action from the project dropdown
menu to only build the current project, rather than a 'Build all'.
However, many times after I make changes to a java resource in an editor
and save (or not save), the 'Build project' selection from the dropdown is
not active when clearly the project needs to have one or more resources
built due to changee.
Rather it is greyed out and unavailable. To activate it I need to switch
tabs to another open resource which then activates the project build menu
selection. Sometimes I need to do this a couple of times before the
selection becomes available. It works fine at that point. However, when
I want to use it again after resource changes ... well, you get the idea.
Sort of a pain in a tight edit/compile/JUnit cycle.
I believe this at times effects JUnit test execution at as well in that I
believe when running a JUnit test Eclipse should detect the project
needing to be rebuilt and do so prior to running the test whereas now I'm
experiencing occasions where this does not happen. The test will merrilly
go about doing it's thing and the modified resources do not get rebuilt.
I have automatic builds turned OFF and am using the default builder. The
'Build project' does not suffer this inactivity symptom. There does not
appear to be anything in the Log.
Thanks for a wonderful IDE.
Peace.

Please enter a bug report against Platform UI. In the report, be clear
about what "dropdown" menu you are talking about (in what view). The
Build Project command should be enabled if the selection of the active
view, or the input of the active editor, belongs to a project that needs
building.
