In the past, it would blindly remove the whole build directory and restart the build from scratch whenever you started the build. The timestamps were added to prevent that from blindly happening. Have a look in build.xml near the beginning - there are all the "checkpoint" timestamps that you can delete. You probably want to stay clear of unpack, buildId and patch - I am not too sure how well the build handles rerunning them without a clean (particularly patch will probably choke). ~Niels
