Description giBBo CLA 2002-12-02 10:15:18 EST 
Perhaps it could be usefull to have the possibility to compile only one class out of the ide and not the whole project all the time a change should take effect.
Comment 1 Dani Megert CLA 2002-12-02 10:22:53 EST 
Moving to JDT Core.

If you are in autobuild mode, only the modified file and its dependents are 
recompiled. You should marginally need to force to rebuild an entire project, 
since incrementally we should be able to take the appropriate action.

If you only perform a one line change in a method, it should recompile only 
this one file touched.

Is it ok to close ? or do you have more information on this ?

No, that's the point
Comment 4 Philipe Mulet CLA 2002-12-05 09:59:29 EST 
Then please provide steps to reproduce. Note that you can monitor the Java 
compiler activity by enabling its trace (output in the console):

Add the following lines into a .option file, to put in the Eclipse root folder 
(next to eclipse.exe).

org.eclipse.jdt.core/debug=true
org.eclipse.jdt.core/debug/builder=true

Then start with console opened (using java.exe instead of javaw.exe as a VM).

Without steps, there is little we can do.

Is it ok to close, or do you have more evidence we are wrong ?

Closing, please reopen if you have more info showing we have a defect.
