Description gerd schaefer CLA 2008-03-25 08:33:48 EDT 
Build ID:  200802251018

Steps To Reproduce:
1. clean any project
2. build project (makefiles are generated)
3. build project (makefiles are generated again)


More information:
working with a big codebase (lots of projects) makefile generation is a time cosuming task.

although there are no resource changes makefile are generated every time.

issue might be related to this comment in GnuMakeFileGenerator.java:

// Recreate all module makefiles
// NOTE WELL: For now, always recreate all of the fragment makefile.  This is necessary
// in order to re-populate the buildVariable lists.  In the future, the list could possibly segmented by subdir so that all fragments didn't need to be
//     regenerated
