Re: [platform-ant-dev] Ant project builders in separate VM?

Builders build the stuff being developed, rather than execute the stuff 
being developed. It depends on how/why people use external builders. If 
they use external builders in order to use a non-Eclipse compiler, it 
makes sense to run in a seperate VM. If they use the Eclipse compiler, it 
makes sense to run in the same VM, and take advantage of incremental 
builds, etc. Eclipse comes with built in tasks to support this.

I suppose if 99% of external builders are using "javac", then they should 
run in a seperate VM.

Why are builders any different than normal launch configurations?
