| <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| become out of date until you build.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 in the Workbench preferences (select |
| <b>Window > Preferences</b> > <b>Workbench</b>). |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>To build only selected projects: |
| </p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>In the Navigator view of the Resource perspective, select one or more projects.</li> |
| <li>Right-click and select the option <b>Rebuild Project</b> from the pop-up menu.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <p>To build all projects in the workspace click <b>Project > Rebuild All</b>. |
| Note that, this will rebuild all resources, even the ones which have not been |
| modified. |
