| <H1>Changing build order</H1> |
| |
| <p>By default, the Workbench computes the build order by interpreting project |
| references as prerequisite relationships. Alternatively, you can explicitly |
| define the order in which projects are built. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>The Build Order preference page allows you to disable the <b>Use default build |
| order</b> option so that you can access the projects list and manipulate |
| the order of it. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>To define the order in which the Workbench performs builds projects: |
| </p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Open the |
| <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.preferences(preferencePageId=org.eclipse.ui.preferencePages.BuildOrder)")'> |
| <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.png" alt="command link"> |
| <b>General > Workspace > Build Order</b></a> |
| preference page.</li> |
| <li>Ensure that the <b>Use default build order</b> checkbox is cleared. If |
| it is selected, the buttons on this page are disabled, and builds are performed |
| in the order of the project list.</li> |
| <li>(Optional) Click <b>Add Project</b> and <b>Remove Project</b> buttons to |
| add and remove projects from the list.</li> |
| <li>Select one or more projects in the list and click <b>Up</b> or <b>Down </b>to |
| to set the preferred project build order.</li> |
| <li>Click <b>OK</b> to close the Preferences dialog.</li> |
| </ol> |
