Eclipse IDE Build Path and Merging [message #138076] Fri, 17 February 2006 12:18 Go to next message

Hi,

I've just started to use Eclipse IDE. So far so good, however I have a
couple pof issues.

Firstly, I'm working on a large project. It takes several minutes to build
from clean, so I want to avoid doing this as much as possible. Whenever
someone from the team adds a new jar to the project classpath, Eclipse
seems to rebuild everything. Is there any way to disable this?

Secondly, I seem to have to do a lot of manual merging. Does anyone
recommend a merge plugin for Eclipse that can deal with conflicts a bit
better than the default one. Or at least one that allows you to move code
accross between revisions without having to manually cut 'n' paste.

Thanks in advance,
Manish

No. Think about it, if the classpath is changed (by adding or changing a
JAR, for example) Eclipse must rebuild that entire project because it
has no way of knowing what changes in the compilation a JAR change will
trigger, until it has actually done the recompile.

Are you using CVS? The Eclipse CVS merge capability is by far the best
I've ever seen. Please explain your usage scenario in which you feel it
is not very good.

Hope this helps,
Eric
