Modifying the build process [message #301252]

Is there an easy way to make Eclipse automatically call an ant script
every time it does a build (both incremental and clean)? My goal is to
integrate a preprocessor (which I have wrapped in an ant task) with the
IDE - so I want to make Eclipse first call the preprocessor task any time
it compiles anything. A pre-compile hook (like Netbeans has) would be
ideal. Does Eclipse have anything like that?

Yes...but you need to set it up for each project you wish to pre-process.

Right click on your project>Properties>Builders
Click New...
Select Ant Build
On the Main tab set the relevant Ant buildfile
On the Targets tab set the targets to be executed for the different types of
builds

Ensure to order you builder to be before the other builders
