Thanks.
It seems that this document was last updated on November 23, 2004 - is it
still valid? hasn't anything changed during the last 9 years...?
My other question is how to write the builder? What libraries do I need to
use (e.g., where do I find IncrementalProjectBuilder)? How do I start a
project in eclipse to write a builder?

Thank you Paul,
I've read both, and gained a lot of new information as to the architecture
of eclipse and the way a builder is expected to work, but I think that what
I need is a "builder for dummies" (although I realize that adding builders
to the eclipse workbench is not for dummies) - where it shows me how to
create and test a simple builder (for example, one that looks for all XML
files in the project and produces corresponding XML files where all element
names are reversed or something). I'm looking for a tutorial that will guide
me from creating a new project, to the point where the builder works and
does its magic.
coming to think of it - maybe what I'm looking for is a cheat sheet for a
simple builder...
Anything of the sort...?
Thanks,
Zohar.
