Rational Application Developer v6.0 We have the "build automatically" feature is off (we build our projects whenever we'd like to... the automatic build sometimes is kind of annoying). I will include an EAR file that you guys can import into the RAD workspace to reproduce the problem. It contains two projects: BuildTestEAR and BuildTestWEB. You can use the BuildTestWEB project to reproduce the problem described below. The following works as expected when the project has just a WEB nature (does not have ASPECTJ nature): If there are compilation errors in a project, and then you select that project, and "clean" the selected project (Project->Clean..), all compilation errors for that project dissapear. The output folder is cleaned (in this case, the classes folder under the web-inf folder). The output folder is cleaned whenever you select to clean a project (regardless of having compilation errors or not). However, if you convert the BuildTestWEB project to ASPECT nature, then above functionality is lost: If there are compilation errors in a project, and then you select that project, and "clean" the selected project (Project->Clean..), compilation errors DO NOT dissapear for that project. The output folder is NOT cleaned when you select to clean a project (regardless of having compilation errors or not); files are not deleted.
Created attachment 18395 [details] files to reproduce problem EAR file to import to reproduce problem.
Yes, I hit this too, in plain Eclipse. Our builder is not honouring the clean operation. Helen, please could you take a look.
Hi Ricardo, Thanks for providing a failing test project and detailed instructions of how to recreate the failure :-) I've had a look into this and the reason is that our builder which extends IncrementalProjectBuilder doesn't override the protected void clean(IProgressMonitor monitor) throws CoreException { //default implementation does nothing } method. In the current state, the behaviour you're seeing will be seen whenever a user chooses to "clean" an AJ project. Obviously, the fix is to implement this method with behaviour which cleans all output folders, clears all state and then does a full build. Clearing all state will have to be changed when bug 73435 is resolved (this is to do with having a "state" object around in a similar way to the JavaBuilder. We currently don't have one but discussions are going on about creating one - this will help us with incremental compilation). I will work on this asap as this should be fixed before we release M3. Thanks, Helen
The fix has now been integrated and the following AJDT build contains this fix. BUILD COMPLETE - build.223 Date of build: 03/08/2005 09:16:11 Time to build: 25 minutes 26 seconds Last changed: 03/08/2005 08:34:54 Last log entry: 86941: overriding the clean(..) method in AJBuilder Just as a note.... the fix entailed just providing an empty clean(..) method. By providing this, the underlying jdt builder mechanism forces a full build so it's not necessary for us to do this aswell in our clean(..) method. When we have a state and such like, this will need to be reset in the clean method, but until then, it's ok just having an empty one.
Hi Ricardo, I'm in the process of uploading a development AJDT build which contains the fix for this bug - currently I'm waiting for the webpages to reflect the changes I've made - when this happens you should be able to download a copy. The date of the AJDT build you need is: 1.2.0.20050308091611 Thanks, Helen
Hi Ricardo, I'm still waiting for download page on the website to reflect my changes (the development build zip file), however, if you install AJDT via the update site mechanism then you can pick up AJDT 1.2.0.20050308091611 now (url: http://download.eclipse.org/technology/ajdt/30/dev/update) Thanks, Helen
Hi Ricardo, Just to let you know, the ajdt download webpages are now reflecting the changes I made. The links to the dev build zip files are now up to date and contain the fix you need. Thanks again, Helen
