We have added several pages to the Properties dialog, and a lot of these can
potentially modify the workspace. Unfortunately, under the current
implementation, hitting OK in the Properties dialog after changing a few
pages means that each page will launch its own ProgressMonitorDialog, do its
thing, and then build and/or validate the project. The biggest disadvantage
is that the project is being built/validated several times, which can be a
time-consuming process, not to mention the usability issues of having
several progress dialogs pop up.
Has anybody else experienced this problem? Has it been identified or
discussed in here at all? Are there any plans to addressing this issue?
I have noticed that the Preferences dialog has the same problem. You can do
the following to see the problem:
1) Go to Java -> Compiler and change one the options that cause it
re-compile.
2) Without hitting Apply or OK, go to Plug-in Development -> Compilers and
change another option there that can cause it to re-compile all projects in
the workspace.
Now, when you hit OK, it will try to re-compile twice.
