I am using version 6.5 and have an ant task that use as part of the clean. I have added it as a builder, specified that it runs only on clean. When I run the clean after adding the builder it works fine. When I close myeclipse and open it again, it doens't fire the builder. I can go look and it is still there, and the settings haven't changed. Whats going on here? It works fine in version 5.5.1

Thanks

JB,

My guess is that the build cycle in Eclipse 3.3 (MyEclipse 6.5) changed since Eclipse 3.2 (MyEclipse 5.5) so it doesn't do a clean on restart every time... for larger projects this can take hours, and I imagine would cause a lot of folks using Eclipse want to tear their hair out.

Hi Riyad,
I don't think I explained what I meant clearly, let me try again. I can add a new builder and declare it to work only on clean. It works fine once it has been created. Once I close Myeclipse and come back later to work on the project and do a clean from the menu, it does not fire the new builder that was added. I have to recreate the builder inorder to get it to work again.

Oh! That's not good... if you restart the workbench and check the builders (Before doing a clean) do you see the builder still there? Is it possible that the change to your .project file isn't getting checked into source control and some how getting over-written by an older .project file that doesn't include that Ant builder?
