Eclipse/FAQ/How do I implement an Eclipse builder?
To understand how Eclipse builds projects, you need to
- Understand where Eclipse stores its project build specifications
(SeeFAQ_Where_are_project_build_specifications_stored? </li>
- Be able to add a builder to a given project
(SeeFAQ_How_do_I_add_a_builder_to_a_given_project? </li>
- Implement the builder
(SeeFAQ_How_do_I_implement_an_incremental_project_builder? </li>
- Make your compiler incremental
(SeeFAQ_How_do_I_make_my_compiler_incremental? </li>
If you follow these instructions, but your builder does not seem to be called,
consultFAQ_How_do_I_handle_setup_problems_for_a_given_builder?
