RE: [aspectj-users] Why is a ful build required after restarting eclipse

["Neale Upstone" <neale.upstone@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Thomas,

I believe that this is correct behaviour, as AJ's incremental compiler
is a process that stays running, rather than something that reads it's
state.  Therefore, the first build on the startup of Eclipse will always
be a full build (if I understand things correctly).

If you look at the comment for the -incremental flag here:
http://www.eclipse.org/aspectj/doc/released/devguide/ajc-ref.html,
you'll see a bit of info.


If you consider the complexity of managing the application of aspects
across a project, you can probably understand why.

Cheers,

Neale
