Hi all,

for bug 549457 (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=549457) we
adjusted the JDT auto-build to do a full workspace build if the JDT core
settings of a project changed (.settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs
changes). Mostly, this ensures that retrieving new settings from a
versioning system (one integrated in the IDE) will result in a build.

If your plug-ins generate this settings file, be aware that this generation
will trigger a *full workspace build*. I.e. if you are changing the
settings file and then building the workspace in your code, you can remove
the building part (in case auto-build is on). We also advise you to avoid
re-generating the settings file with the same contents, since that will now
trigger an unnecessary full build.

For now, if the new behavior is incompatible with your plug-ins, it can be
switched off with the following VM property:

-Dorg.eclipse.jdt.core.disableAutoBuildOnSettingsChange=true

We plan to remove this option in a future release ( > 4.13).

Best regards,
Simeon Andreev
