| [pde-dev] RE: how my builder knows compile errors existence |
|
Hi, I am make an Eclipse builder plugin that does some action when a project is compiled succesfully. I have a couple of questions about an Eclipse builder as following: 1. In order to associate my builder with a project, I made an additional java files that toggles the nature by adding a command in the menu shown when you right click the project name. This is how I trigger and disable my builder. However, this is not the way that I want. I want to trigger my builder just by running my plugin. Is there any way that I can associate my builder with a project in such way? For example, when you run my builder, I want you to be able to build your project with my builder, without doing any special action. 2. My builder should do some action only when a project is compiled successfully. Therefore, my builder has to be aware whether the project has compile errors after build. Below is how I wrote the builder. try { monitor.beginTask("Incremental build starting", 1); getProject().build(IncrementalProjectBuilder.INCREMENTAL_BUILD, monitor); monitor.done(); } catch (CoreException e) {//compile error occured} I thought that build(...) method throws an CoreException when build fails. (meaning when there is a compile error) However, even if there is an obvious compile error in the project, build(...) method does not throw any CoreException in my builder. Could you tell me how I can catch the existence of compile errors in my builder? Thank you very much. MJ Get news, entertainment and everything you care about at Live.com. Check it out! |
