It's not because of using Eclipse! Eclipse Helios is just a tool that makes it easy to develop the ns codes. It uses default gcc version that is installed on your operating system and for compiling the projects, it uses simple terminal commands as everyone uses manually. the capability of compiling just modified files is relative to "make" command and its structure itself, not the tool that you are using of. whenever you run "make", it walks the dependency tree of all targets to see whether any of them need to be rebuilt.
