Hi all,
Our build system doesn't support auto-building. What's the best way of
turning it off programmatically for users of our plugins?
Thanks,
Matt

It's a global property, not per-project, so be aware that if you turn it off
you're turning it off for all projects in the workspace.
The following code should work:
public static boolean enableAutoBuild(boolean enable) throws
CoreException {
IWorkspace workspace= ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace();
IWorkspaceDescription desc= workspace.getDescription();
boolean isAutoBuilding= desc.isAutoBuilding();
if (isAutoBuilding != enable) {
desc.setAutoBuilding(enable);
workspace.setDescription(desc);
}
return isAutoBuilding;
}

Seriously, if your products can't handle auto-build, then just ignore the auto build events, but don't prevent others from using it.

Hi Alex,
Our customers will not be existing Eclipse users adding a new plugin or
two. Our product is an new Eclipse-based IDE for a specialist language,
replacing our old IDE. Eventually we will want to hide the fact that our
product is build on top of Eclipse, much like Rational's Eclipse based
UML tools do. I very much doubt if our customers will have other types
of project in their workspace. Nevertheless, I agree that this is not nice.
Our existing users will not be used to Eclipse, and will be looking for
a build button. This only appears when auto-building is off. We don't
want to have to tell our customers first to install our product and then
to turn off auto building so that they can use it properly. I suppose I
could just add my own build actions to the toolbar and context menu
pretty easily...

You might be able to do what you want declaratively, rather than
programmatically as you had requested. For instance, at install time,
create the appropriate file under configuration/.settings. I'm not very
familiar with the product customization options for Eclipse (that is, the
options that allow pre-install-time customizing of products based on
Eclipse), but there are some.

plugin_customization.ini file. See the file
eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.sdk/plugin_customization.ini for an example
of how the Eclipse SDK configures its default preferences using this
method. The preference for autobuild is (from
ResourcesPlugin.PREF_AUTO_BUILDING):
org.eclipse.core.resources/description.autobuilding=true

I tried the below all methods but still when i run the product, the Build Automatically option in Windows->Preferences->General->Workspace is disabled.(I want it to get enabled):
Method 1
===========
Added below entry in my plugin_costumization.ini
org.eclipse.core.resources/description.autobuilding=true
Method 2
==============
Added below code in my Application.java of my plugin which executes when workspace is loaded :
IWorkspace workspace= ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace();
IWorkspaceDescription desc= workspace.getDescription();
boolean isAutoBuilding= desc.isAutoBuilding();
if (isAutoBuilding != true) {
desc.setAutoBuilding(true);
workspace.setDescription(desc);
}
Method 3
=============
Added below code in same above file:
IWorkspaceDescription iwk = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getDescription();
Preferences preferences = ResourcesPlugin.getPlugin().getPluginPreferences();
preferences.setValue(ResourcesPlugin.PREF_AUTO_BUILDING, true);
Method 4
=====================
Added below code in same file
IWorkspaceDescription iwk = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getDescription();
iwk.setAutoBuilding(true);
But No Luck Sad
Please help
Regards
Kunal

Yes, I tried it and it works but I want this to handled from Eclipse Application and Build Automatically should happen by default. Any idea apart from above steps , how do we achieve this?
Thanks
Kunal
