Re: [cdt-dev] Wait for build to complete and check if errors

[Alex Chapiro <alex.chapiro@xxxxxxxxx>]

You can use something like that:


    public static boolean buildAndWaitForEnd() {
        IProgressService progressService = workbench.getProgressService();
        final IRunnableWithProgress runnable = new 
IRunnableWithProgress() {
            public void run(IProgressMonitor monitor) throws 
InvocationTargetException {
            IJobManager jobManager = Job.getJobManager();
            IWorkbench workbench = PlatformUI.getWorkbench();
                try {

ResourcesPlugin.getWorkSpace().build(IncrementalProjectBuilder.FULL_BUILD, 
monitor);
                } catch (CoreException e) {
                    throw new InvocationTargetException(e);
                }
                if (!monitor.isCanceled()) {
                    try {

jobManager.join(ResourcesPlugin.FAMILY_MANUAL_BUILD, monitor);

jobManager.join(ResourcesPlugin.FAMILY_AUTO_BUILD, monitor);
                    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                        // continue
                    }
                }
            }
        };
        try {
            progressService.busyCursorWhile(runnable);
            return true;
        }
        .....
        return false;
    }

If you initiated your build indirectly (as an AUTO_BUILD, you have to 
correct a bit this code.
