Description Bart Geraci CLA 2004-11-30 13:05:19 EST 
Build 200411300800

In one of my projects, I get an "Inconsistent classfile encountered" error (I'll
detail why in another bug report). If I clean the project & rebuild, then I
still get the error, but I notice that it stops the build for the rest of the
project. 

Is there a way (some option) to compile **all** the project files regardless of
errors like these?

Not really. The offending file seems to have been produced by our compiler, and
would indicate a bug. Then we fail to load the classfile when incremental
compiling against it.

Your best bet is to force the offending file to be recompiled from source each
time (either force a full build, or manually touch the offending source file by
adding a space to it).

Offending scenario is described in bug 79797

Since bug 79797 is fixed, this is not an issue any longer, right ?

This scenario shouldn't happen, and thus fault-tolerance is not required here.
