Description Dani Megert CLA 2001-10-10 22:21:54 EDT
Since the global incr. build button in the toolbar is not working
	as desired, the self-hosters always have to go back to the
	project they're working (i.e. select it) on and then use click on
	the "Build" action in the context menu.

	Depending on how long we have to wait for the finally build
	story, we should have a shortcut.

	Often I would simply like to compile the file I just changed
	(using auto-build could do the job but since it first does 
	a full build where the build order might not be correct I
	can't fully trust this feature).


NOTES:
EG (3/28/01 6:15:20 PM)
	The build actions exposed to the user should be revisited
	once the new build story is in place.
	What we frequently do is to incrementally build
	a single project.

EG (5/4/01 10:53:10 AM)
	There are different cases:
	*	Building with auto build on is OK.
	*	Building the workbench with auto build off has improved. There is now an action and a short cut ctrl-b.
	*	Building a project incrementally is only possible from the pop-up menu. We are
		frequently doing this and there should be a short cut . The Packages View and
		the navigator have to agree on the short-cut, e.g. ctrl-shift-b
	the navigator should agree on the short cut.

This is an old defect but there are still people who complain about this area.

Changed BuildAction and Navigator to allow non-projects to be selected,
as of build > 20020122.
Can change packages view to call this directly now, without having to convert 
selection to projects.

For accelerator key, I feel that <menu key>+B is good enough.
