A "Clean Project" menu item to the context menu that displays when right-clicking on a project in the "Package Explorer" view would be very useful. There is currently a "Build Project" menu item but a "Clean Project" menu item would be great to force a build if the project changed outside of Eclipse. On the same note, a "Clean then Build Project" menu item would also be useful.
I'd be in favour of a 'Clean Project' menu item.
Hmmm, maybe we should just have 'Clean' since it + "build automatically' == Build...having both seems like overkill to me...just a thought. Passing to JDT for comment...(is there a non java specific place to send these type of things? seems like C++ would need the same type of support)
>Hmmm, maybe we should just have 'Clean' since it + "build automatically' == >Build...having both seems like overkill to me...just a thought. Nope, that's not the same, as that would always do a lot more (just think of having a very large project: if you change a single file it would clean everything and rebuild the whole project while 'Build' would only build the changes. If we change this for the PE, we should also adjust the Navigator and the Project Explorer accordingly.
Would it be sufficient to have a "Clean Project" that behaved the same way as Clean in the Project menu except it would open the clean dialog with: 1) "Clean projects selected below" checked and the project selected 2) In manual build mode, "Start a build immediately" and "Build only the selection project" checked.
