External Tools causing unwanted Build All [message #151292] Wed, 17 August 2005 01:26 Go to next message

I'm having the same problem as another poster (Eric Mader) that was
never resolved.

Essentially, if you create an External Tool, NOT as a builder, it tries
to call build everytime you use it. In my case, build -all. This is
exactly what I do not want. My External Tools do things like check out
files from my version control, diff files against repository etc.

Is there a way to stop the project from building when I want to run an
external tool?

Thanks,

David

I found a solution, kind of.

In Window->Preferences->Run/Debug->Launching
UnSelect "Build if required before launching"

My concern is that this will also cause "Run" or Debug commands to not
build. I can imaging that a lot of people would like to build before
running or debugging, but not before performing other miscelaneous tasks
like grep, diff etc.
