[news.eclipse.tools] Problems with automatic compilation...

[rodrigo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Rodrigo)]

Hi. First of all, let me say Eclipse is by far the best IDE I have seen
for Java. I know it is supposed to be much more than that, but I am still
trying to understand the whole idea.
Well, one of the things I really like about the Java Tools in Eclipse is
that I don´t have to manually compile everytime I make changes to a file.
It does it automaticly for me. Still, there have been sometimes when my
coworkers have loudly complained because suddenly, all the compiled
classes dissapear without previous warning.
I think this happens when eclipse finds problems recompiling the whole
project (Ex. An external JAR gets moved by someone accidentally). Is there
any way to tell eclipse not to delete the compiled classes if it finds
problems recompiling? Hope there is... if not, I might get forced into
using some other IDE at work...
