I don't know where to put this in the forum since I don't know which project it is related to, so I put it here.

I updated to Eclipse 4.1.0 lately, so it might be related to the new version..

The problem is that whenever I am in an editor (with a project source file) the "Build project" menu is grayed out! The strange thing is that when I click anywhere in Project Explorer, "Build Project" is active again? Huh?? Is this a bug? It wasn't like that before.

Yes, looks like a bug in 4.x (works in 3.x). Filed
https://bugs.eclipse.org/365043 to track this.
