Hi, I try to build the project but nothing happens. I switched off build
automatically before but nevertheless it doesn't work. normally the java
files are put automatically to there correct place, when changing them. I
also cleaned up before. Before eclipse told me something about a missing
external tool or something but now it doesn't do anything when running
build all.
Can anyone help me?

There's normally not much to see. What are you expecting? Have you
looked at the Error Log view to see if something internal might be failing?

Normally I don't see the bin folder, since it's filtered out and hence
don't see much sign of builds happening, but they still happen...

You're sure it does nothing? In that case the Error Log is bound to be
showing issues...

There are errors in the project. Maybe that means then it doesn't compile
anything?

Andreas,

You're sure the bin folder remains empty? And you've looked at the
Error Log view as I suggested? Probably it makes sense to fix your
errors first...

Errors in one project can prevent other projects from building, if the
projects have a dependency relationship. And please tell us that you
confirmed that the output directory is really empty (use the Navigator
view).
Also, a project can have problems with its build path which will prevent
it from building. Open the project's properties and check the Java Build
Path section to see if there are any errors reported on any of the tabs.

Hope this helps,
Eric

And such things usually appear in the "Problems" view.
