With build-on-resource-mod turned on, releases 3M7 and 3M8 do far more work than their predecessors. Where making a single, non-cascading change to a Java source file in release 3M6, let's say, caused a brief (<2 seconds) incremental build, and non-Java files caused essentially no pause -- newer releases have unpredictable results. Often, a single change causes 20 seconds of building (and a fairly locked up environment) when the change is Java-related or not. I've tried "priming" new Eclipse runs with full clean builds, hoping all future mods would cause mild interruptions, but it doesn't seem to matter. For reference, I'm running a 2Ghz P4 with lots of free RAM and Eclipse memory -Xmx256m.
Looking at the progress view shows a compile spin through all packages. Sometimes I even see a "cleaning output folder" or somesuch. Again, incremental (very brief) builds do occur, but mixed in will long-winded cycles. All trivial source changes.
Nevermind, someone sneaked an oft-changing library into the project. !!!
