How do I Save All, Again? [message #1321229]

Hello!

I'm using eclipse 4.3, and I've discovered the nifty feature where Eclipse will add @Override annotations, where appropriate, when I save a changed file.

So, my question is: How do force eclipse to add annotations to all 319,000 files in my project? Is there a way to make eclipse Save All..again? Should I try re-opening every file, making a change, and saving that way (319,000 times)? I don't want to mess with the Formatter, just that nifty annotation thingy.

Creative Answers Requested. The only >Wrong< answer has the word "Format" in it. Smile

Thanks so much for your attention,
- Bo

Sorry, after hours of googling and poking around, I solved my own problem. The Navigator View (which I prefer) does not give you a directory-level Source menu from which you can pick "Clean Up". However, the Package Explorer DOES. So that was how I applied the Override annotations, by switching to Package View, selecting all my files, selecting Clean Up, and then making sure it ONLY did the Override trick.
