[news.eclipse.platform] Eclipse 3.1.1 and jbosside building workspace pr

["mark" <lelias@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Our project includes EJB 2.1 and we use eclipse,jbosside and xdoclet in our
env and we have several problems that effect the development time:
eclipse version 3.1.1
jbosside version 1.5.1

We have a build process (ant) that executes xdoclet which creates
home,remote,local interfaces and insert them into the src directory.
the ant also compiles all src directory and then package the jars,ejb-jars
and one ear.

the minute we start to change a src file in the eclipse then the eclipse
starts to do building workspace (Build automatically is on in the eclipse)
which means the eclipse is stuck until it removes all the classes in the
output directory, compile all the src (compile by eclipse compiler) and then
it is possible to continue working.
so it means after each build we do we have to wait along time for the
eclipse to be ready again.

 Is there a way to tell the eclipse not to compile all the src again because
the only change of the code is the new ejb interfaces and xml files (I read
eclipse has incremental build which compiles only the diffs but it seems
that eclipse removes the output directory and compile everything)?

what triggers the eclipse to to a full building workspace that cleans all
the class files and compile again?
usually when you work in the eclipse and save files so the eclipse compiles
only the changes ...


thanks for the help,
Mark
