After installing AJDT 1.1.1 on several different Eclipse 2.1 IDE's I have observed at least 3 "modes" for compiling. I don't believe these are controlled by preference or project properties (i.e., suppress automatic builds is always on): 1) [desired] a "build project" button is present on the toolbar, and the rebuild project menu item is always enabled 2) no "build project" button is present on the toolbar, but the rebuild project menu item is always enabled 3) no "build project" button is present on the toolbar, and the rebuild project menu item is typically not enabled However rebuild all always does rebuild with AspectJ in all cases (validated through the AJDT event trace).
This has long been a tricky bug, but we believe we now have a patch in the current code stream. Since the problem is hard to reproduce reliably, it is difficult to be 100% certain though. When working with the current (non-fixed) release, an absent build button can be persuaded to appear by selecting the "customize perspective" menu option for the java perspective, and in the "other" category enabling "AspectJ Actions".
