| <h1>Performing builds manually</h1> |
| |
| <P>By default, builds are performed automatically when you save resources. If |
| you need more control over when builds occur, you can disable automatic building |
| and manually invoke builds. This is sometimes desirable in cases where you know |
| building should wait until you finish a large set of changes. The disadvantage |
| of manual building is that tasks generated to indicate build errors quickly |
| become out of date until you build. In addition, it is very important that you |
| remember to manually build before relying on build output (for example, before |
| running your Java program). |
| </P> |
| |
| <p><em>Note:</em> Some of the menu items described below are only available when |
| the automatic build preference is disabled (ensure |
| <b>Project > Build Automatically</b> is not checked). |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>To build projects in the workspace select the projects and click <b>Project |
| > Build Project</b>. Alternatively, click <b>Project > Build All</b> to |
| build all projects in the workspace. Both of these commands will search through |
| the projects and only build the resources that have changed since the last build. |
| To build all resources, even those that have not changed since the last build, |
| run <b>Project > Clean...</b> before doing the build. |
