[platform-core-dev] A question regarding the BuildManager

[Thomas Hallgren <thomas@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I had some problems with one of my builders not kicking in so I did some 
debugging. I ended up in class 
org.eclipse.core.internal.events.BuildManager and found my problem. I 
want to ask here first if this is intentional or if it's a bug. But from 
the looks of it, the build manager will simply skip all builders 
following a builder that isn't triggered, even if the subsequent 
builders indeed would be triggered. Is this the way it's supposed to work?

I'm using Eclipse 3.3M6 and the source in question looks like this 
(starting at line 186). Note the return statement after the 
if(!command.isBuilding(trigger)):

   protected void basicBuild(IProject project, int trigger, ICommand[] 
commands, MultiStatus status, IProgressMonitor monitor) {
       try {
           for (int i = 0; i < commands.length; i++) {
               checkCanceled(trigger, monitor);
               BuildCommand command = (BuildCommand) commands[i];
               //don't build if this builder doesn't respond to the 
given trigger
               if (!command.isBuilding(trigger)) {
                   monitor.worked(1);
                   return;
               }
               IProgressMonitor sub = Policy.subMonitorFor(monitor, 1);
               IncrementalProjectBuilder builder = getBuilder(project, 
command, i, status);
               if (builder != null)
                   basicBuild(trigger, builder, 
command.getArguments(false), status, sub);
           }
       } catch (CoreException e) {
           status.add(e.getStatus());
       }
   }

Kind regards,
Thomas Hallgren
