Build Project does nothing. [message #288715] Thu, 21 July 2005 19:53 Go to next message

I just recently got an upgraded work machine and in reinstalling Eclipse, I seem to be unable to build my projects. When I do Build All, Build Project, etc, it displays the hourglass for a quick second, and nothing happens. I used the Clean command but it didn't seem to help, other than get rid of my existing class files.

I'm using Eclipse 3.1. My machine is running Windows XP. Java version is 1.5.0. I'm also running a plugin for Tomcat 5.5.

I did a rather extensive search on the net for this problem, and while I found a few people had experienced it, I couldn't figure out any sort of solution from them on my end.

Thanks in advance,
Todd

Perhaps the project(s) has some configuration error in the build path
that is preventing the build. Do you have anything listed in the
Problems view? IF you edit the project properties are there any messages
in the dialog in the Java Build Path section?

HTH,
Eric

Yep, a problem with the build path was it. It looks like when I downloaded
the latest version of Tomcat, the "servlet.jar" was renamed and I didn't
realize that was causing the entire project not to build. I took out the
old reference, added the new ones, and its working great again.

Much appreciated,
Todd
