[platform-cvs-dev] CVS & Eclipse auto-completion

["Niklas Saers" <niklassaers@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi guys,
I'm sorry for the slight cross-post but I seem to have placed this in
the incorrect mailinglist first. I thought this was a problem with
ant, but reading http://eclipsewiki.editme.com/CVSFaq I see that I'm
not the only one with this problem and that the problem is likely
because of CVS?? I haven't found any answers out there, though, so
here goes:

I love Eclipse's auto-completion and auto-compile/reporting of syntax
errors. It saves me loads of time looking up in the API to see if i.e
the name for this function was .getSize(), .getLength() or simply the
variable .length.

But, recently it has stopped working for me. I've checked out a
project I'm working on through CVS that uses an ant build.xml
file. So I've configured a builder to use it and set the targets I'd
like for clean, auto-build and manual-build. But now when it is
trying to auto-complete I get:

Cannot perform operation
This compilation unit is not on the build path of a Java project

Also, if I write something that's totally bogus I don't get a nice red
line under it anymore.
Also, the warnings and errors from the compile don't show up as a red
x by the line that has a problem, just in the ant output

Please, could you point me in the right direction? I need to use ant
for project compability, and a source control system like CVS, but I
love these functions in Eclipse and would not want to give them up.

Cheers
