R2.1, WinXP
We have our own project-nature and -builder, as well as a number of
user-prefs. Some of those user-prefs set bits that the builder consults
when generating IMarkers (the bits when true mean "do generate
such-and-such a sort of marker). Of course, it'd be user-friendly to
immediately rebuild when the user changes one of those bits, and also of
course that meas there needs to be an IPropertyChangeListener attached
to ... what? I.e., where/how do I call what code to get a build to
happen?
Thanks,
Paul K

You do realize this code does a FULL REBUILD OF THE ENTIRE WORKSPACE
every time that property changes?? This means, for example, that all
java projects in the workspace will delete all of their .class files and
build everything from scratch. In general this is quite bad. I would
suggest inside that your property listener sets some bit (for example a
session property) on each project that has your nature. Your builder
would consult this bit when called, and then throw away state and do a
rebuild if it is set (and then clear the bit). Otherwise all other
builders will also throw away their built state. Also, if the user has
auto-build turned off, then any code that gratuitously builds is being
very rude... Other problems with the code below are left as an excercise
to the reader ;)
