Issues with Clean & Auto Build in Xtext 2.9 [message #1724161]

I didn't realize this issue until recently.
In debug env a new instance of Eclipse will be started, I create several of my dsl files in a project and everything works fine, all files will be automatically built when I save them. When I clean the project from MENU>Project, all files could be automatically rebuilt, just as what I want.

My DSL usually will work with a Java project. When I install my dsl plugin in a JDT enabled eclipse and do the same as above in a Java project, the auto build doestn't work anymore, all java files are rebuilt but dsl files. The auto build after saving still works.

What should I do to make JDT's auto build work on my DSL too?

If the dsl files are in a src folder and the project has xtext nature it
will be built.

Thanks. It seems I have to add all parent folders that contain dsl files as source folder. I added only the root folder as source folder, it didn't work.

It still doesn't work. Can't get all dsl files auto built in JDT although all dsl files are in a source folder.
Any thing I can do to work around this bug?

Can you share a small example that shows what you are doing. I do not
understand your project setup

Here's an example:

I create a little example Java project and turn on Xtext Nature for it.
the project structure looks like the following:
index.php/fa/25116/0/

the default output folder is set to /target/classes

as you can see from the following screenshot, when I create & save a new dsl file(.fg) the binary file(.fsa) is automatically generated.
index.php/fa/25117/0/
