Hi,

Can I just compile my java project without running it (to test it for
errors). I haven´t found any option for doing this :(

regards

Michael

If you have AutoBuild turned on, the project is built everytime you save
a file.

Where can I turn that feature off? And can I compile manually?

Tanks in advance for your help :)

You can disable auto builds by unchecking Build Automatically from the
Project menu. After that, you can build your project via the Project
menu. However, disabling the automatic builds will disable a
significant portion of Eclipse's Java tools functionality - do you have
a particular reason why you want to build manually? The normal way to
use Eclipse is to rely on its builds unless you have a special build
process requiring Ant or other processing steps.

OK I just understood the benefits of save->compile.

Thanks

I always turn off the "Build Automatically" option, for sometimes that's
too boring to wait for the compile process even if it just took 1
second. Why not just make Ant handle the whole building process?

"too boring" to wait 1 s?

Oh god.

And how does Ant make it quicker?

Are you using a network drive?

Use a local drive. It makes a BIG difference.
