Description Ilja Preuss CLA 2002-09-30 03:47:38 EDT 
For example, the rename refactoring on a local variable sometimes causes a 
whole bunch of other projects to rebuild, which obviously wouldn't be 
necessary. This can be very inconvenient if you have many big projects in the 
workspace...
Comment 1 Philipe Mulet CLA 2002-09-30 05:17:22 EDT 
Kent - can you please double check what would be going on ? Would refactoring 
touch all these source files for no particular reason ?
Comment 2 Kent Johnson CLA 2002-09-30 16:02:41 EDT 
Tried to reproduce but didn't see anything abnormal. Only the one file was 
being recompiled.

Ilja: can you reproduce with the builder trace enabled?

Start eclipse with a command line like:

d:\R2.0\eclipse\eclipse.exe -debug -consolelog -data d:\R2.0\workspace\plugins -
vm d:\jdk1.3\bin\java.exe -vmargs -Xmx150mb

Make sure to run java.exe not javaw.exe with -debug -consolelog after creating 
a .options file in the same directory as eclipse.exe with:

# Turn on debug tracing for org.eclipse.jdt.core plugin
org.eclipse.jdt.core/debug=true

# Reports incremental builder activity
org.eclipse.jdt.core/debug/builder=true

Ilja: can you reproduce with the builder trace enabled? We need more 
information...
Comment 4 Ilja Preuss CLA 2002-10-07 02:06:42 EDT 
I currently don't have the time, sorry (it's a little bit complicated because 
we have a network installation of eclipse). Possibly I will find the time at 
the end of the week.

Tried to reproduce but could not. Reopen if you find repeatable steps.
