Description Iain CLA 2006-08-29 05:58:58 EDT 
When changing the default Java Task Tags in Window/Preferences... I am always told a full rebuild is necessary. This is very time consuming and not always necessary.

I found this by accident - I didn't realise my project had custom tags - so I changed the defaults, waited ages for a full rebuild, and the change had done absolutely nothing :)

My preferred behaviour would be:

1. check all open projects in the workspace
2. find the ones using default tags
3. IF there are any:
  3a. display the prompt
  3b. rebuild those projects only.
